Tostado v. Carlson, ___ F.3d ___, 2006 WL 250257 (8th Cir. Feb. 3, 2006) (Illinois felony conviction for the unlawful possession of cocaine and unlawful possession of cannabis, held a drug trafficking aggravated felony, under INA 101(a)(43)(B), 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(43)(B), for immigration purposes, even though the offense would have been a misdemeanor if prosecuted in federal court, because "a drug trafficking crime is an offense which would be punishable under 21 U.S.C. 801 et seq., and which would qualify as a felony under either state or federal law."), citing Lopez v. Gonzales, 417 F.3d 934, 936 (8th Cir. 2005), and quoting United States v. Briones-Mata, 116 F.3d 308, 309 (8th Cir. 1997).
