Max Nuyen 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.
