      "title": "Criminal Aliens: Expanded Detention, Restricted Relief from Removal",
      "summary": "Congress began targeting criminal aliens as a deportation priority in the 1980s, and the 104th\nCongress furthered this effort in two major laws: the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act\n(AEDPA) ( P.L. 104-132 ) and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act\n(IIRIRA) (Division C of  P.L. 104-208 ). Together, these laws require the continued detention of most\ncriminal aliens until their removal from the U.S. These laws also tightly restrict the opportunity for\naliens who commit crimes to obtain relief from being sent abroad. Even resident aliens with\nlongstanding community and family ties may face mandatory detention and removal (with little\nprospect of early reentry) as a consequence of past criminal activity.",
