AILA Submits Amicus Brief Arguing Term “CIMT” Is Impermissibly Vague

AILA and other groups submitted an amicus brief to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Islas-Veloz v. Barr arguing that the term "Crime Involving Moral Turpitude" (CIMT) as used in the INA is unpredictable and arbitrary, and thus impermissibly vague, and supports petitioner's request for a panel rehearing or rehearing en banc.
