tldr: Immigrant convicted of burglary, twice. Govt. tried to boot him as an aggravated felon. Immigration Judge says first-degree burglary is a "crime of violence". Immigrant appealed to 9CA. At the same time, SCOTUS rules that a clause in the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) defines "violent felony" was too vague, thus unconstitutional. SCOTUS confirms the "crime of violence" clause in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is also too vague.
