Immigration Appeals Board Reverses Course on Aggravated Felons
Original: Appellate Board Overrules Itself, Finds Aggravated Felons Are Inadmissible
The Board of Immigration Appeals has overruled its own precedent, holding that non-citizens convicted of aggravated felonies are inadmissible. The reversal changes how long-standing precedent is applied in removal proceedings and could affect many pending immigration cases. Immigration advocates and restrictionist groups are closely watching the ruling for its broader impact on deportation policy.
Why now: A self-reversal by the nation's top immigration appeals body carries major consequences for aggravated-felony removal cases nationwide.
