Fifth Circuit: Hermenegildo Gomez-Perez v. Loretta Lynch

Immigration



State misdemeanor assault statute does not necessarily involve sufficient violence to be considered a crime of violence for immigration purposes.  The different means of accomplishing the crime are not substantive parts of the crime, but rather means of accomplishing the single substantive aspect of the crime.
