How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • concluding that “deference is not owed to Silva-Trevino’s novel approach” due to the fact that “it is bottomed on an impermissible reading” of the INA
  • noting that “moral turpitude” will rarely, if ever, be “an element of the underlying offense”
  • observing that importation of the “realistic probability” test to the CIMT context is “wrong-headed”
  • declining to remand where the relevant legal materials, including BIA decisions, “lead[ ] inexorably to the conclusion” that'an offense is not morally turpitudinous
  • declining to import the Duenas-Alvarez realistic probability test into the crime involving moral turpitude context
  • rejecting “Silva–Trevino’s novel approach” in favor of “the modified categorical approach that we have historically applied”
