  • observing that where the Department has “fully developed its own position” regarding the method for determining whether a prior conviction constitutes a crime involving moral turpitude, that position is entitled to deference notwithstanding prior judicial precedent
  • rejecting BIA’s decision that a violation of a gun registration statute is morally reprehensible, even though guns “are dangerous” and the regulations may “deter future wrongdoing”
  • “[A]s the board has done this through formal adjudication[,] the agency is entitled to the respect afforded by the Chevron doctrine.”
  • “[Section 1229a(c)(3)(B)] is similar to the approach of Taylor and Shepard, but to the extent of any difference the statute must control.”
