Andre Martello Barton, Petitioner v. William P. Barr

Summary

The Court held that, for cancellation of removal, the stop‑time rule bars eligibility when a lawful permanent resident commits any offense listed in 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(2) during the initial seven‑year residence period, even if that offense is not the one that triggered removal. The Court also interpreted the phrase “renders the alien inadmissible” to be satisfied by a conviction or admission, not by a formal adjudication of inadmissibility. Accordingly, the Eleventh Circuit’s judgment was affirmed.
