deportation under former section of t s d of the immigration and nationality act eight years later in january of two thousand and four mr maldonado was convicted of a controlled substance violation we discourage the retroactive laws laws that change things that it's because we rely on the law as it exists at any given moment and don't want things changed because we would alter our behavior if we knew that the law was status if he had this would he be eligible if you have the conviction you know i'm not i'm not sure on that point your honor former counsel has argued that he would be i mean the united states was seeking to deport him because of that is because impermissibly retroactive as applied to him because he can't demonstrate the type of quid pro quo that was present in ins the st cyr not to members of this court as well as the second third and fourth circuit has held that you don't need to have that type of quid pro quo reliance in order to have a statute impermissibly retroactive they also held you don't need to have actual subjective reliance we don't need to show that he actually considered the statute when he made its decision it's just whether it was reasonable for him to reliance for a person to rely on the current state of the law and conform their conduct to that because congress has just completely eliminated it like they do twelve see relate to forty they couldn't they just but they haven't done it yet what what case authority are you relying upon to support your argument that if there is no notice it's impermissibly retroactive what's your best case authority and grass actually how that in that felt that there was because there was no fair notice that at the time that the employees actually harassed his comb ploy he would have her notice that that conduct would subject him to this new amendment in the future which is and job but the problem is her client is not here facing removal because he was granted to twelve c in one nine hundred ninety six he's facing removal because subsequent to that and he continued to commit crimes there w no settled expectation reasonable realize it was either she told the or go so he had a choice and he was given that bread and there was no reliance reasonable or otherwise it would have made a differen status he had if there were alternative forms of relief perhaps but there weren't i mean to chance he was the sole avenue of relief from deportation and now we actually know criminal activity in two thousand and four of the felony three conviction would hurt after the legislation is after the legislation so you cannot argue that there was no notice because citizens residents everyone is it is expected to know the then in removal proceedings before he knew there was a risk if he can if he engaged in illegal conduct plus the fact even if there were alternate forms of relief to two twelve's he had retroactivity if it affects one's expectations he had no subtle expectations but that wasn't her argument her argument was that underlying graph that if there was no notice day him that the law would be changed in such a way to affect him the law changes no one has a right to expect that the law will stay the same forever and he had no right to expect even under the law as it was that he would get a second waiver because the law changed eight months later to say you absolutely cannot in the even in the exercise of discretion get a second for when that law changed he was on notice first of all his i notice that it's not supposed to violate the law second of all he's on notice and and there is no basis in law or under the any analysis retroactivity analysis that would find otherwise he had no reasonable expectation there is no protected liberty interest in hundred ninety two thousand and four knowing that they were removable offenses and when the law said you cannot get another waiver for he had been subjected to removal before for committing a crime he knew the consequences of committing a crime not the fact that the statute was an active but the fact that he knew as a practical matter that commission of a crime was
