U.S. Supreme Court: Immigration Act Unconstitutionally Vague on
Removal for Aggravated Felony
The Immigration and Nationality Act provides that any alien convicted
of an “aggravated felony” after entering the United States is
subject to deportation. The Supreme Court has decided, 5-4, that the
statute’s defining an aggravated felony as “a crime of violence”
is unconstitutionally vague. Sessions v. Dimaya, No. 15–1498 (Apr.
17, 2018). Justice Neil Gorsuch sided with the liberals on the Court.
According to the INA, an aggravated felony includes “a crime of
violence for which the term of imprisonment [is] at least one year.”
