Dor v. Dist. Dir., Immigration and Naturalization Service

Facts

The detainee, who came into the country without valid entry documents, was convicted of first degree manslaughter. After serving a portion of his sentence, he was released and taken into immediate custody by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). He was deemed deportable by an immigration judge, who denied his applications for asylum and a stay of deportation and ordered his deportation on the ground that he was a danger to the community of the United States. The detainee's appeal was dismissed and his application for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident was denied.

Analysis

The court found that the detainee had not exhausted his administrative remedies before seeking habeas corpus relief. The court emphasized that the Attorney General is constrained from carrying out the detainee's deportation due to a stay obtained from the Court of Appeals. The court also noted that the detainee's likelihood of achieving legal residence was remote due to his criminal history, which excluded him from adjustment benefits under the law.
