INA §237 lists grounds on which an admitted noncitizen may be deportable. Deportability is distinct from inadmissibility, and the applicable framework depends on the person’s entry and procedural posture.
The statute covers multiple categories, including specified status violations, criminal grounds and other conduct. A charge in Form I-862 is an allegation, not a final adjudication of removability.
INA §240 supplies the hearing framework. The burden of proof, disputed charges and possible relief require individual review. A criminal charge, conviction and statutory immigration consequence are separate questions.
