Description
In late 2002, the Attorney General promulgated a rule designed to guide Immigration Judges ("IJs") in deciding whether to grant waivers of inadmissibility to the United States based on certain criminal grounds. The regulation provides that in cases where individuals have committed "violent or dangerous crimes," the Attorney General will not exercise his discretion to grant waivers under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(h) (known as § 212(h) relief) unless the individual can show "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship." 8 C.F.R. § 212.7(d).
