Description
In 1988, when petitioner Jayantha Kankamalage pleaded guilty to robbery, a conviction for that offense did not categorically disqualify him from consideration for asylum. In 1990, a new regulation was promulgated that changed that; he became categorically ineligible for a discretionary grant of asylum. In accordance with INS v. St. Cyr, 533 U.S. 289 (2001), we hold that the 1990 regulation cannot be applied retroactively to categorically exclude Kankamalage from consideration for asylum.
