On November 201 respondent plead guilty to Misuse of Social Securty Numbers in

used or compeled the disclosure of the soial security nmber of another person and (2) done

so in violation of a federa law DHS ad respondent agree (Exh 3 at 3 & Exh 2 at 34) that

because this statute is divisible and crminaizes conduct not necessaiy invoving aud or

deceit respondent's conviction does not categorically qualify s an aggravated lony S

burden to establish that respondent ws convicted of a crime involving aud or deceit in which
