Supreme Court of the United States

Barton v. Barr

April 23, 2020590 U.S. 222

Summary

The Court held that for cancellation‑of‑removal eligibility, a lawful permanent resident who commits an offense listed in §1182(a)(2) during the initial seven‑year residence period is ineligible even if that offense is not the one that triggered removal, because the offense renders the alien inadmissible. The judgment of the Eleventh Circuit was affirmed.
