of violating Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 
(2006 & Supp. IV 2010)) (``AECA''). Specifically, Ramon-Herrada was 
convicted of knowingly and willfully conspiring and agreeing with 
another person or persons to export and causing to be exported from the 
United States to Mexico 17,500 cartridges of ammunition designated as 
defense articles on the United States Munitions List, without having 
first obtained from the Department of State a license for such export 
or written authorization for such export. Ramon-Herrada was sentenced 
to 37 months of imprisonment and two years of supervised release, and 
fined a $100 assessment. Ramon-Herrada is also listed on the U.S.

    Section 766.25 of the Export Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or
