New opinion–NJ child-porn possession is not an aggravated felony

Salmoran v. AG — immigration — partial reversal — Greenaway

Today the Third Circuit held that a New Jersey conviction for possessing child pornography is  crime of child abuse but not an aggravated felony, meaning it supports removal but does not bar an application for cancellation of removal.

Joining Greenaway were Restrepo and Bibas. Arguing counsel were Matthew Archambeault of Philadelphia for the petitioner and Lindsay Dunn for the government.
