Administrative Deportation Procedures for Aliens Convicted of Aggravated Felonies Who Are Not Lawful Permanent Residents

Résumé

This rule proposes to establish alternative administrative deportation procedures for aliens not admitted for permanent residence and not eligible for any relief from deportation who have been convicted of aggravated felonies. This regulation is necessary to implement a recently enacted statutory measure eliminating the requirement for a hearing before an immigration judge and limiting judicial review. While incorporation procedural safeguards, it will expedite the deportation process in certain cases involving serious criminal offenses.
