Hernandez v. Lynch
Opinion of the Court
Petitioner Omar Alberto Hernandez, a citizen of Mexico, was determined ineligible for cancellation of removal pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(C) after an immigration judge concluded that his conviction for deadly conduct under Texas Penal Code § 22.05(a) was categorically a crime involving moral turpitude (“CIMT”). Petitioner appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”), which applied the “realistic probability” approach to hold that deadly conduct was categorically a CIMT and dismissed the appeal.
