 Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), St. Cyr became "removable" for having been convicted of a controlled substance violation.Before the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), INA § 212(c) was interpreted to give the U.S. Attorney General broad discretion to waive deportation of certain LPRs.The AEDPA and IIRIRA, however, limited relief to LPRs and non-LPRs.
