Bd. did not err in affirming IJ order that found that alien (native of Mexico) was statutorily ineligible to seek cancellation of her removal, where alien had been convicted of violating order of protection under Wisconsin law. Bd. could properly find that said conviction precluded alien from seeking cancellation of removal relief under 8 USC section 1227(a)(2)(E)(ii), where record showed that: (1) alien had been enjoined under protection order; (2) at least one part of said order involved protection against credible threat of violence, where state court directed alien to refrain from acts of domestic abuse; and (3) alien pleaded no contest to having knowingly violated domestic abuse order by remaining on premises at issue in order. Fact that alien may not have acted violently by remaining on premises was irrelevant.
