United States Second Circuit

In an immigration action wherein petitioner was denied cancellation of removal and CAT relief because the IJ determined that her conviction for misprision of felony constituted a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT), the BIA's decision affirming denial of relief is vacated and remanded for further proceedings to determine: 1) whether misprision of felony is a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT); and 2) whether a rule that misprision of felony is a CIMT may be retroactively applied.
