(B)  Crimes of Moral Turpitude.[266]

 

Mailing an obscene letter is not a CMT.

 

Matter of D, 1 I. & N. Dec. 190 (BIA 1942) (mailing an obscene letter in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 334 is not a crime involving moral turpitude, since a letter suggesting fornication would be obscene, but the actual commission of the fornication would not be a crime of moral turpitude).


[266] See N. Tooby, J. Rollin & J. Foster, Crimes of Moral Turpitude § 9.101 (2005).
