U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-2795
and No: 07-1442
Immigration & Naturalization Service
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Petition for review - Immigration. BIA did not err in interpreting INA
Sec. 237(a)(2)(C) to find that petitioner's misdemeanor game and fish
conviction for the illegal transportation of a loaded firearm under Minn.
Stat. Sec. 97B.045 was a deportable violation; petitioner's hunting rifle
was a firearm under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 921(a)(3) and was not excepted from
that definition by the sporting rifle exception for destructive devices; BIA
decision finding petitioner removable is affirmed.
