Decision date: 2021-04-27
Dismissing Petitioner's claim that a pardoned offense is not a "conviction" under 8 U.S.C. § 1101 for failure to exhaust administrative remedies and alternatively, denying the claim on its merits, and rejecting Petitioner's argument that a pardon waives all grounds for removal related to the pardoned offenses because under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(vi), a pardon waives only four enumerated categories of crimes.
