ADRIAN IGNACIO CAMPOS, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR EARLY DEPORTATION
This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s Request for Early Deportation by a Foreign Prisoner Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1326 (Doc. 220). On May 8, 2012, Defendant Campos pled guilty to Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(b)(1)(A). On September 28, 2012, the Court sentenced Defendant to 65 months’ imprisonment.

Under another statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1228, expedited removal proceedings against an inmate may be commenced “before the alien's release from incarceration for the underlying aggravated felony, ”[2] but that statute is clear that “nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring the Attorney General to effect the removal of any alien sentenced to actual incarceration, before release from the penitentiary or correctional institution where such alien is confined.”[3]Moreover, “[n]othing in this section shall be construed to create any substantive or procedural right or benefit that is legally enforceable by any party against the United States or its agencies or officers or any other person.”[4] Thus, this statute does not grant Defendant the right to be removed on an expedited basis, before he finishes his sentence. It only gives the Attorney General the right to remove him, if the Attorney General so chooses.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED BY THE COURT that Defendant’s Request for Early Deportation by a Foreign Prisoner Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § ...
