BELONG v. GARLAND

Holding that criminal impersonation under Delaware Code Section 907(1) is not a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT) because it is insufficiently "morally reprehensible." In resolving the CIMT issue, the Fourth Circuit held that (1) the disjunctive language in Section 907(1) does not require proof of fraudulent intent such as would bring Belong's conviction within the ambit of a CIMT and (2) there was a "reasonable possibility" under Section 907(1) that Belong did not misappropriate a real person's identity and thus inflict harm on any real person.
