Seventh Circuit -- Tomas B. Torres-Rend v. Eric Holder

Tomas B. Torres-Rend v. Eric Holder 

Immigration - petitioner not eligible for fraud waiver given plain language of statute; stop-time rule applies to all considerations of withholding of deportation.

Petitioner here needed the waiver given that his legitimating marriage was bigamous.

Even if lawful re-entry could un-stop the time, petitioner's entry was unlawful.
