Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
In a petition for review of an order removing petitioner from the U.S., the petition is denied where, because the statute of conviction by its own terms was a state law "relating to a controlled substance" and petitioner's conviction involved heroin (a controlled substance as defined in 21 U.S.C. section 802(6)), the BIA correctly found petitioner removable.
