Abstract:
This Note examines the source and extent of the federal power to deport, and explains the recognized constitutional limitations on the exercise of that power. Furthermore, it discusses theories that people use to resist deportation and analyzes the weaknesses of those defenses. In addition, the Note advances a theory of procedural due process that would prohibit the INS from deporting aliens who lose their legal status due to the Service’s own misconduct.
