Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
In a prosecution for possession by a felon of a firearm, district court's imposition of a 92-month sentence instead of the minimum 15-years' imprisonment is vacated and remanded as a North Carolina conviction for breaking and entering under North Carolina General Statutes section 14-54(a) is, as a matter of law, a violent felony within the meaning of ACCA.
