§ 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Padilla-Martinez v. Holder, 770 F.3d
825, 830 (9th Cir. 2014). We grant the petition for review.
The agency ordered Garcia removed for having been convicted of an
aggravated felony crime of violence as described in 18 U.S.C. § 16(b). However,
the BIA did not have the benefit of the Supreme Court’s decision in Sessions v.
Dimaya, 138 S. Ct. 1204 (2018), holding that 18 U.S.C. § 16(b) is impermissibly
vague. Accordingly, we remand to the BIA to consider Garcia’s removability in
light of that decision.
Respondent’s motion to take judicial notice (Docket Entry No. 17) is denied
as moot.
PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
