Given ambiguity, issue properly was submitted to jury.

Becker v. Gonzales, No. 05-76977, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT, January 10, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Crimes alleged to be grounds for deportability did not disappear from alien's record for immigration purposes. Even if alien were able to waive his 1978 conviction under § 212(c) of the INA, it would nonetheless remain an aggravated felony for purposes of precluding the alien's application for cancellation of removal because of his 2004 conviction.

Overview: BIA abused discretion in refusing to apply equitable tolling of limitations on filing of motions to reopen, as aliens reasonably relied on representative's assurances that dismissed proceedings would be reopened. Unknown attorney's signature on document would not have put reasonable persons in aliens' position on notice of need to hire new counsel.
