Villegas-Sarabia v. Sessions, 874 F.3d 871 (5th Cir. Oct. 31, 2017) (federal conviction of misprision of a felony, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 4 ((1) knowledge that a felony was committed; (2) failure to notify the authorities of the felony; and (3) an affirmative step to conceal the felony."), was a crime against moral turpitude, because misprision of a felony required an intentional act of deceit); following Patel v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 800 (5th Cir. April 29, 2008); Itani v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3d 1213, 1216 (11th Cir. 2002) (holding that misprision of felony is a categorical CIMT); distinguishing Robles-Urrea v. Holder, 678 F.3d 702, 711 (9th Cir. 2012) (holding that misprision of felony is not a CIMT for lack of a sufficiently evil mental state).
