Campos-Hernandez v. Sessions

The Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of the BIA's determination that petitioner was ineligible for special rule cancellation of removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA). When petitioner applied for NACARA special rule cancellation, the BIA interpreted the physical presence requirement as running from petitioner's most recent disqualifying conviction, rather than his earliest, and so held him ineligible for NACARA cancellation of removal. The panel held that the BIA's determination of NACARA was reasonable and was therefore entitled to deference. View "Campos-Hernandez v. Sessions" on Justia Law
