This is a checklist of all of the federal statutes that will trigger a conviction-based ground of deportation that can be sustained only upon a violation of that specific federal statute.  Except for certain convictions for violation of 18 U.S.C. § § 1543, 1546(a) (passport fraud), which may trigger deportability as an aggravated felon, this checklist does not include federal convictions that may trigger deportability as an aggravated felony, crime of moral turpitude, or a domestic violence, controlled substance, or firearms conviction, since those grounds (although often referencing federal law) do not depend upon a conviction under a specific federal statute.  There may be additional grounds of deportation that, in effect, rely solely on federal convictions, but are worded broadly in the INA.  This checklist does not included conduct based grounds of deportability.  See Appendix A for any possible waivers or exceptions.
