Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 52 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the case of an alien who is convicted of an offense which makes the alien subject to deportation, the Attorney General shall begin any deportation proceeding as expeditiously as possible after the date of the conviction.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“a petitioner who has alleged a cause of action under the [Administrative Procedure Act] or the Mandamus Act need not rely upon an implied right of action under any other statute.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Congress enacted Section 701 ... to require the INS to abandon its practice of postponing prisoner deportation hearings until after the expiration of a prisoner’s sentence. Rather than deporting aliens promptly upon the expiration of their prison sentence, the INS waited until a prisoner completed his or her sentence before even scheduling a hearing to determine whether the prisoner would be deported. These aliens remained in prison while awaiting their deportation hearing. Congress concluded this practice of keeping aliens in prison after they had completed their sentence contributed to prison overcrowding and imposed an unfair, unnecessary and expensive burden on limited federal and state resources. Congress enacted Section 701 to require the INS to begin deportation hearings as soon as possible after conviction so the question of deportation could be resolved before the prisoner’s term expired, and if the prisoner was found deportable, deportation could be accomplished promptly.”
