Heading: Congress's Division of Responsibility Between the

Text: Executive and Judicial Branches 18 Our interpretation of § 3583(d) is consistent with the overall division of responsibility that Congress created between the INS and the courts. See Xiang, 77 F.3d at 772-73. As the Fourth Circuit explained in Xiang, Congress established the INS as part of the Executive Branch under the Attorney General, and gave the Attorney General far reaching authority to deport aliens.... See generally 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101-1503. The courts are brought into the process only after the Attorney General reaches a final decision on deportability. See 8 U.S.C. § 1105a.[ 1  Xiang, 77 F.3d at 773; see also Jalilian, 896 F.2d at 448 (recognizing that Congress ... has delegated exclusive authority to the Attorney General to order the deportation of aliens pursuant to 8 U.S.C. section 1252 and holding that the district court exceeded its authority under 18 U.S.C. § 3563 by imposing a probation condition ordering [the alien-defendant] to leave the country); Quaye, 57 F.3d at 449-50 (adopting this interpretation of § 3583(d) and recognizing that it preserves Congress's long tradition of granting the Executive Branch sole power to institute deportation proceedings against aliens); Kassar, 47 F.3d at 568 ([T]he decision to deport rests in the sound discretion of the Attorney General.). 19
