Screen the charge against the INA aggravated-felony ground before the plea.
Screen a charge against the INA aggravated-felony ground, every category cited to the U.S. Code, before the plea. Each category prints with both statutory cites — the offense definition at 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43) and the deportability trigger at § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) — a live U.S. Code source URL, and, for the sentence-length and loss-threshold subparagraphs, an explicit CONDITIONAL flag. Categorical / modified-categorical analysis and every legal conclusion remain counsel’s.
Status: waitlist ($XXX). Attorney-review preview — not legal advice, and not a determination that any conviction is an aggravated felony.
