Order to Show Cause and Notice of Hearing; Apprehension, Custody and Detention

Résumé

This rule amends existing Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations, by adding the position of institutional hearing program director to the list of Immigration and Naturalization Service officials authorized to issue orders to show cause and warrants of arrest. This is an internal change only and is necessitated by the placement of Service special agents at correctional institution sites to process criminal aliens for deportation proceedings. The modification is intended to facilitate the processing of incarcerated criminal aliens. The position of patrol agent in charge is also being added to the list of officials authorized to issue orders to show cause and warrants of arrest. This change will allow the Service to obtain more efficient use of its personnel and resources and is in keeping with current organizational command structure and program responsibility with a Border Patrol sector. This rule also deletes positions from the list of officials authorized to issue orders to show cause and warrants of arrest which are no longer necessary.
