United States Eleventh Circuit

In a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing petitioner's appeal from an immigration judge’s order finding him removable under section 212(a)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as an alien whom the Attorney General "knows or has reason to believe is or has been an illicit trafficker in any controlled substance," the petition is granted where the court did not require every alien seeking admission to the U.S. to produce evidence proving clearly and beyond a doubt that he is not a drug trafficker, unless there was already some other evidence -- some "reason to believe" -- that he was one.
