Petition for Review, Order of Bd. of Immigration Appeals
Holding: 
Petition denied

IJ did not err in finding that alien was statutorily ineligible to obtain cancelation of removal relief, where alien had 2010 State of Illinois conviction for violating domestic order. Under 8 USC section 1227(a)(2)(E)(ii), alien is removable where court has determined that alien violated portion of order that provided for protection against credible threats of violence, repeated harassment or bodily injury to person for whom protection order was issued, and instant conviction precluded alien from obtaining cancelation of removal relief, where record showed that alien had pleaded guilty to charge alleging that he had harassed individual and violated injunction to stay away from said individual.
