Safe Havens

(A)  Limitation to Convictions of Violating Listed Statutes.  When Congress listed, as an aggravated felony, a conviction of an offense that is “described in” a specific federal statute, it clearly meant to include in that aggravated felony category convictions of violating only the specific statute listed, and no other.  Convictions of violating a different statute cannot fairly be said to be “described in” the listed statute.  Therefore, a conviction of violating a statute different than the statute specifically listed in an aggravated felony category would be a partial safe haven with respect to that category.
