Alien Rapists Must Be Deported
IRLI urges court to deport aliens guilty of child abuse
WASHINGTON—The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) has filed a brief before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) arguing that aliens who commit aggravated statutory rape are child abusers who should be deported.
Under federal law, an alien who commits a crime of child abuse in the United States is deportable. But the U.S. Supreme Court recently held that a conviction for engaging in consensual sex with a minor who is sixteen or over does not automatically qualify as a crime of child abuse.
IRLI argues that the Supreme Court’s decision still allows immigration judges to deport convicted rapists when their crimes involve another factor in addition to their victims’ age.
