Canada v. Gonzales, ___ F.3d ___, 2006 WL 1367367 (2d Cir. May 18, 2006) (Connecticut conviction for assault on a public safety officer, in violation of Conn. Gen. Stat. 53a-167c(a)(1) is a divisible statute, since assault of a police officer is a categorical crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. 16(b), but assault of another peace office may not categorically qualify as a crime of violence; where plea transcript shows victim was, in fact, a police officer, the Government has met its burden of showing removability as an aggravated felon).
