Daniel Munoz appeals the sentence for his conviction of being unlawfully in the United States following deportation after a felony conviction. He claims that the district court erred by imposing the 16-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii) based on its determination that his 2006 conviction of aggravated *416 assault with a deadly weapon under N.M. Stat. Ann. §§ 30-3-2(A) and 30-3-l(B) (West 1978) does not constitute a “crime of violence” (“COV”) because it is neither an enumerated offense nor has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of force.

This court reviews de novo the district court’s characterization of an offense as a COV. United States v. Izaguirre-Flores, 405 F.3d 270, 272 (5th Cir. 2005). Munoz’s conviction qualifies as a COV because apprehension-causing aggravated assault creates a sufficient threat of physical force to constitute a COV. See United States v. Carrasco-Tercero, 745 F.3d 192, 195-99 (5th Cir. 2014); United States v. Silva, 608 F.3d 663, 670-73 (10th Cir. 2010); United States v. Licon-Nunez, 230 Fed.Appx. 448, 451-52 (5th Cir. 2007). Therefore, the district court did not err in applying the enhancement.

AFFIRMED.
