Cases
Aremu v. Dep’t of Homeland Security
Mr. Ogune represented an immigration client before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. That case was a case of first impression before that court, the court having not decided the issue at stake before then. Mr. Ogune was able to convince the appellate court to interpret the Immigration and Nationality Act to mean that the “date of admission” of an immigrant is the date he/she was “inspected” and authorized” at the border prior to entering the country, and so that would be the date from when to calculate the five years after which the immigrant’s resident permit may not be revoked for the commission of a crime of moral turpitude. As a result, the Fourth Circuit vacated the removal order issued by both the United States Immigration Court and the Board of Immigration Appeals, whereupon the client was allowed to remain in the country.
