United States Fifth Circuit

Conviction and sentence for illegal reentry of a removed alien under 8 U.S.C. section 1326 are affirmed over claims that the underlying indictment was invalid because the prior removal order violated defendant's due process rights and that his prior conviction for endangering a child was not a crime of violence.
