United States Fifth Circuit

In a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA) affirmance of a final order of removal, the petition is denied where: 1) under 18 U.S.C. section 1227(a), a crime of domestic violence need not have as an element the domestic relation of the victim to the defendant; and 2) the BIA did not limit the remand in petitioner's case for the specific purpose of considering evidence demonstrating her date of admission to the U.S.
