United States First Circuit


Da Silva Neto v. Holder, 11-1847

In removal proceedings against a Brazilian national who admitted to sufficient facts to support a finding of malicious destruction of property under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 266, section 127, a petition for review of the BIA's denial of cancellation of removal is denied, where the BIA's conclusion that the petitioner committed a crime involving moral turpitude, and thus could not qualify as a person of good moral character, was neither arbitrary nor contrary to law.
