What is the current state of the law on the modified categorical approach?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Silva v. Garland, 993 F.3d 705 (9th Cir. 2021):

5 Neither party argues that we should apply the modified categorical approach here, see, e.g. , Shepard v. United States , 544 U.S. 13, 26, 125 S.Ct. 1254, 161 L.Ed.2d 205 (2005), so we do not address that issue.
