The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued an interim final rule in 2006 focused on the rights of "arriving aliens" in removal proceedings to adjust their status to permanent residency. This rule involved removing certain provisions and reorganizing others, but an oversight led to incorrect regulatory cross-references. The purpose of the published correction is to amend these references without making any substantive policy changes. DHS bypassed the usual public notice and comment process for this correction because it only involves non-substantive amendments to regulatory cross-references.
Simple Explanation
DHS and DOJ fixed an old paperwork mistake about how certain people coming to the U.S. can ask to stay. They didn't change any rules, just fixed the way they were listed.
