1Opinion of the Court
COFFEY, Circuit Judge.
Mario Solorzano-Patlan challenges the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) decision that he was removable from the United States as an “aggravated felon” because his Illinois burglary conviction was classified as a “burglary offense,” as well as a “crime of violence,” for which the term of imprisonment is at least one year. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101(a)(43)(F) & (G).
