Carlos Quintero-Cisneros, a native of Mexico, sought relief from removal after being ordered deported by immigration authorities.

The court considered both the legal frameworks of immigration and the specifics of Quintero-Cisneros’s charges to determine if the BIA had erred in its judgment.
**Outcome:**
The court ruled in favor of Quintero-Cisneros, determining that he did not qualify as an aggravated felon based on the evidence presented. As such, the removal order was overturned, allowing Quintero-Cisneros to remain in the United States.
