Fernandez-Santander v. Thornburgh, 751
F.Supp. 1007 (D.Me. Nov. 9, 1990) (Maine conviction for distribution
of controlled substances, in violation of 17-A M.R.S.A. §
1103, qualified as a "drug trafficking crime" that
in turn qualified as an aggravated felony under INA § 101(a)(43)(B),
8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(B), that justified denial of immigration
bond pending deportation, since offense would have been a
felony if prosecuted under federal law), overruled, 930 F.2d
906 (1st Cir. Mar. 14, 1991) (Table).
