Background and Security Investigations in Proceedings Before Immigration Judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals
This rule amends Department regulations governing removal and other proceedings before immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals when a respondent has applied for particular forms of immigration relief allowing the alien to remain in the United States (including, but not limited to, asylum, adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident, cancellation of removal, and withholding of removal), in order to ensure that the necessary identity, law enforcement, and security investigations are promptly initiated and have been completed by the Department of Homeland Security prior to the granting of such relief.
DNA Sample Collection From Federal Offenders Under the Justice for All Act of 2004
The Department of Justice is publishing this interim rule to implement section 203(b) of Pub. L. 108-405, the Justice for All Act of 2004. The Justice for All Act of 2004 authorizes the Department of Justice to treat offenses in certain specified categories as qualifying Federal offenses for purposes of DNA sample collection. This rule amends regulations to reflect new categories of Federal offenses subject to DNA sample collection. The Justice for All Act amendment added ``[a]ny felony'' as a specified offense category in 42 U.S.C. 14135a(d)thereby permitting the collection of DNA samples from all convicted Federal felons. This rule includes the new ``any felony'' category and does not change the coverage of misdemeanors in certain categories already included under prior law.
