The Second Circuit has determined that a federal conviction for misprision of a felony is not a crime involving moral turpitude because it has no evil intent requirement. “The BIA’s decision that misprision categorically constitutes a CIMT is also unmoored from its own precedent. The BIA and courts have consistently 12 declared offenses that involve appreciably higher levels of moral culpability to be 13 insufficiently grave to qualify as CIMTs.” The Second Circuit decision aligns it with similar case law in the Ninth Circuit.
