Matthews v. Barr
Petition for certiorari denied on June 29, 2020
Issue: Whether a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act"that noncitizens may be removed and are ineligible for many forms of discretionary relief if "convicted of " a crime of child abuse, child neglect, or child abandonment""encompasses a crime of "child endangerment," a different child-related offense that criminalizes an individual act"like leaving a child briefly unattended"that creates some risk of potential harm to a child, even if no harm results.
