The following excerpt is from Sandoval v. Yates, No. 13-71784 (9th Cir. 2017):
Under the categorical approach, we first determine the definition of the generic offense - here, an aggravated felony. This requires us to navigate a "maze of statutory cross-references." Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder, 560 U.S. 563, 567 (2010). We start with the definition of "aggravated felony" as used in 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(43).
