United States Ninth Circuit

An illegal alien who enters this country without inspection and commits an aggravated felony is subject to administrative removal pursuant to 8 U.S.C. section 1228(b). Such an alien is treated just as one who was "admitted" to the US and who then committed an aggravated felony.
