United States Ninth Circuit

A petition for review of a decision finding petitioner inadmissible under section 212(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which renders inadmissible aliens who engage in prostitution, is granted since Hawaii's definition of prostitution encompasses acts outside the scope of section 212(a)(2)(D)(i).
