United States v. Martinez-Hernandez

Although California Penal Code 211 robbery does not qualify as a crime of violence under 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(43)(F), section 211 robbery nevertheless qualifies as a generic theft offense under section 1101(a)(43)(G), and thus is an aggravated felony under 18 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii). The Ninth Circuit affirmed defendants' convictions for illegal reentry where defendants were each convicted under section 211 and deported to Mexico after their prison terms were completed.
