United States Third Circuit


Martinez v. Attorney General of the United States, 11-2258

A Nicaraguan citizen's petition for review of a final order of removal is denied where: 1) the Immigration and Nationality Act section 212(h)'s statutory language, construction, and evolution make clear that "admission" and "admitted" refer to inspection and authorization by any immigration officer at the port of entry; and 2) the section 212(h) waiver bar applies because petitioner was admitted following such procedures after failing to disclose his arrest and subsequent conviction for an aggravated felony.
