Case Number: 
No. 13-2470
Decision Date: 
December 22, 2014
Federal District: 
Petition for Review, Order of Bd. of Immigration Appeals
Holding: 
Petition denied
Bd. did not err in finding that alien was not eligible for cancellation of removal relief where alien had been convicted on Wisconsin charge of operating vehicle for purposes of fleeing or eluding police officer. Said offense categorically qualified as crime involving moral turpitude, which precluded any cancellation of removal relief, since: (1) said statute required proof that alien knowingly attempted to flee or elude police officer after having been given signal to stop; and (2) alien’s conduct greatly increased risk of endangering police officer and others.
