7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Eliseo Beltran-Aguilar v. Matthew G. Whitaker

Case No.: 18-1799

Officials: ROVNER, HAMILTON, and BARRETT, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Immigration – Removal Order

Eliseo Beltran-Aguilar, a native and citizen of Mexico, applied for cancellation of removal from the United States. An immigration judge denied his application, and the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed the denial on the ground that Beltran-Aguilar’s conviction for Wisconsin battery involving domestic abuse was a crime of domestic violence. Beltran-Aguilar now petitions this court for review, arguing that the Wisconsin offense is not categorically a crime of violence. It is, so we deny his petition.
