EXCERPTS FROM PLEA & SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS “The defendant waives any potential relief from removal that may be available to the defendant and avows that the defendant has no fear of return to the defendant’s home country of Romania. The defendant agrees and stipulates that the defendant will not seek to appeal a judicial order of removal.” – Case against naturalized citizen from Romania, who became a permanent legal resident in 2008, naturalized in 2011, and was denaturalized in 2018. Defendant “waives any rights that he may have to apply for any relief or protection from removal, including but not limited to asylum, withholding of removal, adjustment of status, cancellation of removal, waiver of inadmissibility, protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture, or any other relief or protection from removal whether stated herein or not, under the immigration and nationality act or any other federal statute, regulation, or treaty. Defendant further requests that an order be issued by this court for his removal to his country of citizenship, Bangladesh, or, subject to consultation with and approval of ICE, any other country which agrees to accept his admission. Defendant agrees to accept a written order of removal as a final disposition of these proceedings and waives any rights he may have to appeal the order issued.” – Case against naturalized citizen from Bangladesh who entered the U.S. on a false passport when applying for asylum in 1994. Upon removal, he left behind four U.S. citizen children and returned to a country he had not lived for nearly 25 years. The plea additionally stated that he “would happily accept a prison sentence if he and his family could remain together in the United States. However, that is not part of the agreement and is not anticipated.” 108 UNMAKING AMERICANS
