AILA Files Amicus Brief with CA9 on Ambiguous Records of Conviction
AILA joined other immigrant rights and legal services organizations in filing an amicus brief with the Ninth Circuit in Vasquez v. Lynch urging the court to hold that Moncrieffe v. Holder effectively overruled Young v. Holder, to reaffirm Almanza-Arenas v. Holder, and to hold that the petitioner is not barred from relief on an ambiguous record of conviction.
