United States Third Circuit

A Jamaican citizen's petition for review of BIA's final order of removal on the ground that petitioner's conviction alone rendered him ineligible for discretionary relief under INA section 212(c) is granted and remanded where: 1) because the BIA's analysis in all likelihood rests on an historically inaccurate premise, it cannot stand; and 2) alternatively, BIA's opinion fails adequately to explain its reasoning and appears incorrect as a matter of law.
