Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit January 26, 2004, 03-50160 (United States v. Luis Hernandez-Vermudez, AKA John Doe, AKA Luis Hernandez Vermudez, AKA Luis Hernandez-Bermudez, Aka, Luis Eduardo Hernandez)

SILVERMAN, Circuit Judge:

We hold today that an illegal alien who enters this country without inspection and commits an aggravated felony is subject to administrative removal pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1228(b). Such an alien is treated just as one who was “admitted” to the United States and who then committed an aggravated felony.
