This is a complete list of all grounds of deportation, prepared
on January 10, 2005. This checklist is a complete list of
all grounds of deportation. It has been organized into four
categories: (I) Criminal grounds; (II) Immigration Grounds,
including smuggling and fraud; (III) Immigration Status
Violations; and (IV) Security Grounds, including espionage,
genocide, and terrorist acts. Each category includes both
conduct-based grounds of deportation, which are based not
on a criminal conviction or other court order, but on some
behavior or status exhibited by a noncitizen, and conviction-based
grounds of deportation, which require a final criminal conviction
that meets a certain definition before deportation will
be ordered, as well as other grounds of deportation that
are based on a court or administrative tribunal's order
(other than a criminal conviction).
We hope
you enjoy the checklist, and as always we welcome your feedback.
