Description
Jose Ernesto Flores was ordered removed under §237(a)(2)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. §1227(a)(2)(E), because he committed a "crime of domestic violence" -- which means any offense that is a "crime of violence" under 18 U.S.C. §16 and has a spouse or other domestic partner as a victim. The crime need not be defined in state law as "domestic"; all aspects of the definition are federal. But classification of a state crime under a federal definition can be tricky, and Flores denies that his offense qualifies. We have jurisdiction to determine whether Flores has committed a removable offense, see Gill v. Ashcroft, 335 F.3d 574 (7th Cir. 2003); Yang v. INS, 109 F.3d 1185, 1192 (7th Cir. 1997), but if he has done so then we lack jurisdiction to review any other issues. See 8 U.S.C. §1252(a)(2)(C); Calcano-Martinez v. INS, 533 U.S. 348 (2001).
