- holding that, after repeal of JRAD statute, sentencing court could not recommend against deportation of alien whose criminal conduct occurred prior to repeal
- finding that the law abolishing judicial recommendations against deportation can be applied retroactively to conduct that occurred prior to the change in law
- upholding retroactive repeal of Judicial Recommendations Against Deportation for certain criminal aliens
- “Congress’s retroactive elimination, in the 1990 Act, of a sentencing court’s power to grant relief from the civil penalty of deportation does not increase the criminal penalties and hence does not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause.”
