PER CURIAM:
  
   *
  

  The Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals is reviewed and its order of removal is vacated for the following reason.
 

  The record shows a full concession, by an attorney at the initial hearing, of all charges for removability made by the government in its Notice to Appear. However, both the IJ and BIA granted the removal because, by common sense, they saw the conduct of Mendez to be a crime for which he was convicted. The government does not contend that the initial concession should affect our decision.
 

 
   *351
   
  The problem is that the record shows no conviction of an aggravated felony — or of the sexual abuse of a minor. We may know that the conduct of Mendez would support a conviction of a crime charged, but none of the statutes require violence or force or sexual abuse of a minor for conviction. Therefore, it is not shown that any conviction met the categorical compatibility required to justify Mendez’s deportation.
 

  Review GRANTED and Order of Removal VACATED.
