View this case - free  

Overview: BIA erred in entering final removal order against alien because government had not shown that alien was removable under 8 U.S.C.S. §§ 1101(a)(43)(B), 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), based on his 35 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 780-113(a)(30) conviction. Evidence did not show that alien's crime had drug trafficking element or that it constituted felony under federal law.
