How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that aliens who entered guilty pleas after the new law went into effect could not establish impermissible retroactivity
• holding that aliens who entered guilty pleas after the new law went into effect could not establish impermissible retroactivity
• holding that Congress rationally could have decided to encourage criminal aliens to voluntarily leave the country as an incentive to a potential waiver of removal when they sought to return
• differentiating Domond's reliance and expectation concerns from those presented in St. Cyr, because, in the latter case, “both criminal conduct and guilty pleas pre-dated AEDPA.”
• noting that “it would border on the absurd to argue that Domond would have decided not to commit a crime if he had known that he not only could be imprisoned, but also could face deportation without the availability of a discretionary waiver of deportation”
• “[I]t cannot reasonably be argued that aliens committed crimes in reliance on a hearing that might possibly waive their deportation.”
