Zuniga-Ayala v. Garland

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on December 9, 2024.

Docket No.24-103
Op. Below5th Cir.

Issue

Whether, under the categorical approach, when a state statute of conviction on its face criminalizes conduct not prohibited by the corresponding federal statute, this mismatch defeats removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2), or a noncitizen must instead show something more.
