United States Ninth Circuit

Petition for review of a denial of petitioner's motion to terminate removal proceedings against her and a finding that she was inadmissible under immigration statutes because she assisted in the smuggling of two undocumented alien minors into the U.S. is granted where petitioner's mere presence and acquiescence in her father's plan does not constitute alien smuggling under INA section 212(a)(6)(E)(i).
