deported under any provision of law until the termination of the imprisonment. Imprisonment shall be considered as terminated upon the release of an alien from confinement whether or not he is subject to rearrest or further confinement in respect of the same offense. Release of an alien from confinement on parole shall be considered as a termination of imprisonment.

(c) Execution of warrant of deportation; aliens discharged from United States Narcotic Farms. Any alien who has been sentenced to imprisonment and has been ordered deported and who has been transferred as an alien addict to a United States Narcotic Farm provided for in the Act of January 19, 1929, shall, at the time of his discharge from the farm, be taken into custody direct from the farm and deported instead of being returned to the penal institution from which he came.

(d) Execution of warrant of deportation; departure at alien's expense. Where an alien has been ordered deported, the officer in charge of the district within which the alien is located or where the alien is in custody may, in the absence of express directions to the contrary in the warrant of deportation, permit the alien to depart to any country of his choice by reshipping foreign one way as a seaman, or by any other method at the alien's expense. When such departure is permitted and effected, the facts shall be recorded on the warrant of deportation. Any alien who is permitted to depart from the United States at his own expense under a warrant of deportation shall be notified of the issuance of such warrant and again warned concerning the provisions of the Act of March 4, 1929, as amended, as set forth in § 150.6 (m) of this Part.

(e) Execution of warrant of deportation; stay of deportation by the officer in charge. Where an alien has been ordered deported and is about to be joined to a deportation party or his deportation is otherwise imminent and some serious emergency arises, or where new and material evidence is discovered, the district director within whose district the alien is located may, in his discretion, stay the deportation. All the facts and circumstances in such cases shall be reported immediately to the Central Office, and the further action taken shall be subject to the direction of the Central Office.* (45 Stat. 1085; 21 U. S. C. 222; sec. 1, 45 Stat. 1551, 46 Stat. 41, 47 Stat. 166, 8 U. S. C. 180, 181)

150.13 (a) Deportation; manner of. If deportation is to be effected by vessel or airplane, notice of the proposed deportation of any alien shall be given to the transportation company concerned, together with a brief description of the alien and any other appropriate data, including the cause of deportation, physical and mental condition, and destination. Any request from the transportation lines to defer delivery of the alien for deportation shall be accompanied by a written agreement from the line concerned that it will be responsible for all detention expenses resulting from such deferment.

(b) Deportation; to foreign contiguous territory. Aliens ordered deported to foreign contiguous territory shall be returned across the border at the nearest port unless humanitarian or other

reasons render it advisable to effect deportation through some other port. Deportation to a seaport shall be authorized when that course is deemed advisable or more economical than deportation across the land boundary. In cases involving deportation to foreign contiguous territory pursuant to the provisions of § 150.11 of this Part, the officer in charge of the district within which the hearing was held shall determine through which port deportees shall be deported. In all other such cases officers in charge shall include in their letters transmitting the records of warrant hearings a recommendation as to the port through which such deportees should be deported.*

150.14 Repeal of prior regulations and instructions. All sections of Part 150, Chapter I, Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, which have previously been in effect, and any other rules or instructions inconsistent with the provisions of this Part, are hereby repealed: Provided, however, That such repeal shall not affect any proceedings or parts of proceedings which have taken place prior to the effective date of this Part as here promulgated.

§ 153.1 Special care and attention for aliens; duty of steamship company. When the immigration officials find that an alien about to be deported, whether after rejection by a board or on Department warrant, requires special care and attention, the steamship company concerned shall provide such care and attention as his condition requires, not only during the ocean voyage but also as hereinafter provided in § 153.3 during the foreign inland journey. (Secs. 18, 20, 39 Stat. 887, 890; 8 U. S. C. 154, 156)

§§ 153.1 to 153.5, inclusive, issued under the authority contained in sec. 23, 39 Stat. 892, sec. 24, 43 Stat. 166; 8 U. S. C. 102, 222. Statutes interpreted or applied and statutes giving special authority are listed in parentheses at the end of specific sections.

153.2 Delivery of alien to steamship officer; procedure. The alien shall be delivered to the master or first or second officer of the vessel on which deportation is to occur, who shall be given the appropriate Form 1-287 and a duplicate carbon sheet A thereof. The receipt and sheet A shall be filled out except as to signature by an immigration officer. The receipt attached to sheet A shall be signed by the ship's officer to whom the alien has been delivered and returned forthwith to the immigration officer making delivery. Sheets B and C shall be retained by the ship's officer and in due course filled out by the agents or persons therein designated and by them returned by mail as herein provided.* (Secs. 18, 20, 39 Stat. 887, 890; 8 U. S. C. 154, 156)

153.3 Delivery of alien at foreign port or destination; procedure. From the foreign port of disembarkation the steamship company shall at its own expense forward the alien to destination in charge of a proper attendant except only in cases where foreign public officials decline to allow such attendants to proceed and themselves take charge of the alien, which fact must be shown by signing the form, provided in the lower half of sheet C of Form I-287. If the foreign public officials do not take charge at the port of disembarkation, but at an interior frontier, both forms on sheet C must be filled out, the former in relation to the inland journey as far as such frontier.* (Secs. 18, 20, 39 Stat. 887, 890; 8 U. S. C. 154, 156)

*For statutory citation, see note to § 153.1.

153.4 Failure of steamship company to provide special care; alternative. Whenever a steamship company fails, refuses, or neglects to provide personal care and attendance for a deported alien requiring such care and attention, or when such company fails, refuses, or neglects to return sheets B and C of Form I-287 properly executed within 90 days after the departure of such alien, or otherwise fails, refuses, or neglects to comply with the provisions of this Part, the Attorney General shall thereafter and without notice employ suitable persons, at the expense of such company, to accompany aliens requiring personal care and attendance when deported on any vessel of such company.* (Secs. 18, 20, 39 Stat. 887, 890; 8 U. S. C. 154, 156)

153.5 Lepers; deportation; procedure. In cases of deportees who are afflicted with leprosy and who are subjects of Mexico or other contiguous territory, the matter of obtaining permission for the return of such aliens to their respective countries shall be taken up with the competent authorities of the country of which the alien is a subject, by the officer in charge of the district in which the case arises, through the United States immigration officers at the border port through which such aliens are to be deported. As soon as it is determined that such aliens are deportable, the Central Office will obtain travel permits for the aliens' passage from the State of origin into the State from which deportation is to be effected, said travel permits being obtained through the office of the Surgeon General, United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C. Negotiations with appropriate common carriers shall be started by the officer in charge of the district in which such cases arise, immediately upon finding that the victim of the disease is deportable, for the purpose of arranging for the transportation of such aliens in the most economical manner possible, in keeping with the State health laws and the rules of the United States Public Health Service. Other cases of deportable aliens afflicted with leprosy shall be disposed of in accordance with governing circumstances and with the assistance and under the direction of the Central Office. (Secs. 18, 20, 39 Stat. 887, 890; 8 U. S. C. 154, 156)
