NOTES FROM SOURCE:<br></p>
<ul><li>Removals are the compulsory and confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States based on an order of removal. An alien who is removed has administrative or criminal consequences placed on subsequent reentry owing to the fact of the removal.</li>
<li>Returns are the confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States not based on an order of removal.</li>
<li>Includes the 15 months from July 1, 1975 to September 30, 1976 because the end date of fiscal years was changed from June 30 to September 30.</li></ul><p><br></p>
