United States Fifth Circuit

In a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order finding that petitioner's money laundering conviction was for more than $10,000, and constituted a particularly serious crime under 8 U.S.C. section 1231(b)(3)(B)(ii), the petition is granted where the BIA applied an incorrect legal standard in its Convention Against Torture consideration, and the case needed to be decided under an "actual knowledge" or "willful blindness" standard.
