The Seventh Circuit granted the petition for review and remanded, finding that the LPR petitioner, who had been convicted of a felony and was subsequently convicted of possessing a weapon in violation of 720 ILCS 5/24–1.1(a), was not convicted of an aggravated felony pursuant to INA §101(a)(43). The court held that Illinois’s definition of a “firearm” is broader than that of its federal counterpart, and thus a conviction under the statute could not be treated as an aggravated felony.

Duenas-Alvarez in 2007

Lynch.

The BIA ruled that as a crime of violence under 18 USC §16(a), the state statute must require as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of violent physical force. The BIA further held that the crime of aggravated battery under the Puerto Rico Penal Code, which may be committed by means that do not require the use of violent physical force, is not categorically a crime of violence under 18 USC §16(a).
