Description

Petitioner Rafiu Ajadi Abimbola, a citizen of Nigeria, entered the United States in 1991 and was granted lawful permanent resident status on September 8, 1994. In the latter half of the 1990s, Abimbola was charged with several federal and state crimes. On February 24, 1997, Abimbola pleaded guilty in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York to bank fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1344. Moreover, on November 7, 1997, he entered an Alford plea to larceny in the third degree in violation of Connecticut General Statutes § 53a-124. In June 1999, based on the federal conviction, the Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") served Abimbola with a notice to appear. The INS sought Abimbolas removal pursuant to § 237(a)(2)(A)(iii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"), 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), for an aggravated felony conviction as defined under INA § 101(a)(43)(G). 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G). That subsection defines "aggravated felony" as "a theft offense (including receipt of stolen property) or burglary offense for which the term of imprisonment [is] at least one year." Id. Although the original charge only included the federal conviction, the INS amended the notice to appear by adding the Connecticut larceny conviction. The INS asserted that Connecticut third-degree larceny is a theft offense and therefore also an aggravated felony.
