Abstract
No canons of interpretation, no Chevron deference to the trier of fact, just a leap into what some of the justices believe is legislative intent. After the recent 5-3 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court (Luna Torres v. Lynch, No. 14-1096, 5/19/16) more immigrants will be removed due to having committed minor offenses that will now fall under an expanded definition of “aggravated felony.”
