Offense
Destroy or conceal evidence
Aggravated Felony (AF)
Not AF as obstruction of justice (it has a 6-month maximum sentence)
Crime Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT)
Conservatively assume a CIMT, but see Advice
Other Removal Grounds
No other removal ground. Like PC 32, this should not take on the character of underlying offense, so it is a very good alternative for drug, DV, child abuse, etc.
Advice and Comments
CIMT: Immigration advocates can investigate whether PC 135 should be treated the same as PC 32. The Ninth Circuit has held PC 32 never is a CIMT, but the BIA disagrees. But if avoiding CIMT is a priority, see PC 136.1(b)(1) or even PC 32.
