Restrepo v. Attorney General, 617 F.3d 787 (3d Cir. Aug. 16, 2010) (aggravated felony sexual abuse of a minor, under INA 101(a)(43)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(43)(A), is a generic definition which must be analyzed under the categorical approach, which ignores the facts of the case and concentrates on the elements of the offense of conviction); following Nijhawan v. Holder, ___ U.S. ___, 129 S.Ct. 2294, 2298, 2300 (courts employ the "categorical approach" of Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575, 110 S.Ct. 2143, 109 L.Ed.2d 607 (1990), to determine whether an alien's conviction constitutes a sexual abuse of a minor aggravated felony under the INA).
