Yi v. Holder
October 30, 2009
**Crime of violence, Anchorage Municipal Code section 8.10.010(B)(1)/domestic violence assault**
Yi’s conviction under AMC § 8.10.010(B)(1) does not support his removal as a “crime of violence.” Under the categorical approach, Yi’s conviction does not support the charge of removability because AMC § 8.10.010(B)(1) prohibits both the “intentional” and “reckless” use of force against another, and is therefore broader than the federal definition of a crime of violence. In addition, the limited documents in the record of conviction fail to establish whether Yi admitted to intentionally or recklessly assaulting his brother.
