Supreme Court of the United States
Decided May 30, 2017No. 16–54PublishedCited by 204 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Thomas
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 66 Stat. 163 , as amended, provides that "[a]ny alien who is convicted of an aggravated felony after admission" to the United States may be removed from the country by the Attorney General. 8 U.S.C. § 1227 (a)(2)(A)(iii). One of the many crimes that constitutes an aggravated felony under the INA is "sexual abuse of a minor." § 1101(a)(43)(A). A conviction for sexual abuse of a minor is an aggravated felony regardless of whether it is for a "violation of Federal or State law." § 1101(a)(43). The INA does not expressly define sexual abuse of a minor.
