Important 11th Circuit case on Silva-Trevino

The 11th Circuit held that the BIA and the IJ erred in considering evidence beyond the record of conviction to determine that Petitioner’s conviction for false imprisonment under Florida law was a crime involving moral turpitude. The Court indicates that the Attorney General's decision in Silva-Trevino goes beyond nearly 100 years of legal precedent.  The case is Fajardo v. U.S. Att’y Gen. and was decided on 10/12/2011.
