Yeremin v. Holder, No. 10-4525 (6th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseIn 2004, Yeremin, a Russian citizen who lawfully entered the U.S. in 1999, pleaded guilty (18 U.S.C. 1028(f)) to conspiracy to traffic in identification documents. Section 1028(a)(3) prohibits knowingly possessing with intent to use unlawfully or transfer unlawfully five or more identification documents or false identification documents. The Department of Homeland Security initiated proceedings and an immigration judge ordered removal, finding that Yeremin’s conviction was for an offense qualifying as a crime involving moral turpitude. The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed. The Sixth Circuit denied a petition for review. Under the categorical approach, Yeremin’s conviction qualifies as a crime involving moral turpitude because the conduct prohibited by the statute he was convicted under inherently involves deceit.
