The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 severely curtails the rights of aliens in the United States when past criminal conduct is a factor. Crimes that previously did not cause immigration consequences can now trigger deportation proceedings
Any person in the United States who is not a U.S. citizen may be placed in removal proceedings if he or she is deemed inadmissible or deportable. Even a lawful permanent resident (LPR) may lose his or her status and be removed from the United States.
