Syed v. Barr

 An alien’s conviction under California Penal Code §288.3(a), for attempting to communicate with a child with the intent to commit lewd or lascivious acts upon that child, was categorically a crime involving moral turpitude that made him removable. Because not all of §288.3(a)’s enumerated offenses involve moral turpitude, the panel explained that the statute is not categorically a crime involving moral turpitude, but the full range of conduct proscribed by §288.3(a) with a specific intent of violating §288 is a crime involving moral turpitude.
