Another Crime Added to the Moral Turpitude List

Uppal  v. Holder (9th Cir. 2009)

This case expands on the moral turpitude doctrine.   That is, a person who violates § 268 of the Canadian Criminal Code is considered to have categorically committed a crime of moral turpitude.  The Canadian statute deals with aggravated assaults.  In examining the language of § 268, the 9th Circuit found that it met the requirements of a crime of moral turpitude as contemplated by U.S. immigration regulations in that a person convicted of the crime acted intentionally and his actions caused physical harm to another.
