Opinion by Judge GRABER: Partial Concurrence and Partial Dissent by Judge FERNANDEZ.
GRABER, Circuit Judge:
Petitioner Hughes challenges a final order of removal issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) on April 9, 1999. The BIA held that Hughes was removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) because he was an alien who had been convicted of an aggravated felony. On appeal, he argues that he is a “national of the United States” or a “citizen” and thus is not an alien subject to removal proceedings. We disagree and, for that reason, dismiss the petition.
