Nolos v. Holder

Roseller Osicos Nolos ("Nolos") petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") decision to uphold the immigration judges ("IJ") order of removal and the BIAs subsequent denial of his separate motions to reconsider and to reopen. Nolos argues that he is not removable because (1) he derives United States citizenship from his parents, who he claims acquired United States citizenship by virtue of their births in the Philippine Islands ("Philippines") while the country was a United States territory, and (2) the Nevada theft conviction that forms the basis of the removal order does not qualify as an aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G). For the following reasons, we DENY the petition for review.
