PART 241_APPREHENSION AND DETENTION OF ALIENS ORDERED REMOVED--Table
 
   Subpart C_Deportation of Aliens in the United States (for Hearings 
                    Commenced Prior to April 1, 1997)
 
Sec.  241.33  Expulsion.

    (a) Execution of order. Except in the exercise of discretion by the 
district director, and for such reasons as are set forth in Sec.  
212.5(b) of this chapter, once an order of deportation becomes final, an 
alien shall be taken into custody and the order shall be executed. An 
order of deportation becomes final in accordance with 8 CFR 1241.31.
    (b) Service of decision. In the case of an order entered by any of 
the authorities enumerated above, the order shall be executed no sooner 
than 72 hours after service of the decision, regardless of whether the 
alien is in Service custody, provided that such period may be waived on 
the knowing and voluntary request of the alien. Nothing in this 
paragraph shall be construed, however, to preclude assumption of custody 
by the Service at the time of issuance of the final order.
