§ 241.15
Countries to which aliens may be removed.
(a) Country.
For the purposes of section 241(b) of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1231(b) ), the Secretary retains discretion to remove an alien to any country described in section 241(b) of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1231(b) ), without regard to the nature or existence of a government.
(b) Acceptance.
For the purposes of section 241(b) of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1231(b) ), the Secretary retains discretion to determine the effect, if any, of acceptance or lack thereof, when an acceptance by a country is required, and what constitutes sufficient acceptance.
(c) Absence or lack of response.
The absence of or lack of response from a de jure or functioning government (whether recognized by the United States, or otherwise) or a body acting as a de jure or functioning government in the receiving country does not preclude the removal of an alien to a receiving country.
(d) Prior commitment.
No commitment of acceptance by the receiving country is required prior to designation of the receiving country, before travel arrangements are made, or before the alien is transported to the receiving country.
(e) Specific provisions regarding acceptance.
Where the Department cannot remove an alien under section 241(b)(2)(A) -(D) of the Act, acceptance is not required to remove an alien to a receiving country pursuant to section 241(b)(2)(E)(i) -(vi) of the Act. Where the Department cannot remove an arriving alien under section 241(b)(1)(A) or (B) of the Act, acceptance is not required to remove an alien to a receiving country pursuant to section 241(b)(1)(C)(i) -(iii) of the Act.
(f) Interest of the United States controlling.
The Secretary or his designee may designate a country previously identified in section 241(b)(2)(A) -(D) of the Act when selecting a removal country under section 241(b)(2)(E) of the Act (and may designate a country previously identified in section 241(b)(1)(A) or (B) of the Act when selecting an alternative removal country under sub section 241(b)(1)(C) of the Act) if the Secretary or his designee determines that such designation is in the best interests of the United States.
(g) Limitation on construction.
