The Impact of Barton v. Barr on Eligibility for Cancellation of
Removal

On April 23, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an adverse, 5-4
decision in Barton v. Barr, No. 18-725 (U.S. Apr. 23, 2020), a case
regarding the "stop-time rule" and eligibility for cancellation of
removal. The Court held that committing an offense "listed in" the
inadmissibility grounds at INA § 212(a)(2) stops time for purposes
of cancellation, even for an admitted LPR who cannot be charged as
removable under the inadmissibility grounds. The Barton opinion will
primarily limit eligibility for LPR cancellation, but will have some
impact on non-LPR cancellation and VAWA cancellation.
