Title: Expansion of Expedited Removal of Certain Criminal Aliens Held in Federal, State, and Local Jails 
Abstract: This notice advises the public that the Immigration and Naturalization Service intends to apply the expedited removal provisions of section 235(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act on a pilot basis to certain criminal aliens being held in three correctional facilities in the State of Texas. This action will not become effective until the Service evaluates and addresses public comments and informs the public by notice in the Federal Register when the expedited removal provisions will be implemented. This pilot program will last for a period of 180 days, and will be followed with an evaluation of the program. The Service believes that implementing the expedited removal provisions to persons who have been found by a Federal judge to be guilty of illegal entry and are serving short criminal sentences will result in faster removal of those criminal aliens. This will ensure prompt immigration determinations in those cases and consequently will save Service detention space and immigration judge and trial attorney resources.
