Criminal Aliens: INS' Efforts to Identify and Remove Imprisoned Aliens Continue to Need Improvement / Statement of Norman J. Rabkin

Publication year: 1999 | Cataloged on: Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: In his address before the Immigration and Claims Subcommittee, Norman Rabkin reviews the Institutional Hearing Program and the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) efforts to complete removal proceedings for criminal aliens while they are still serving their sentences, which allows for the expeditious removal of criminal aliens upon completion of their sentences and eliminates the need for INS agents to locate the aliens after their release. Mr. Rabkin notes that, although the INS has shown some limited improvement since his 1997 report, there is still much to be done to ensure that it is initiating removal proceedings for aggravated felons and taking them into custody upon their release, and that potentially deportable criminals are identified. He believes that the INS should fully implement the recommendations made in the 1997 testimony in the most expeditious manner.
