520 |a "In 2016, the United States Sentencing Commission promulgated an amendment that comprehensively revised the guideline covering illegal reentry offenses -- ʹ2L1.2 (Unlawfully Entering or Remaining in the United States). The amendment, Amendment 802, became effective November 1, 2016, and represented the most comprehensive revision of a major guideline in the last two decades. This report examines the impact of Amendment 802 by looking back at sentencings under ʹ2L1.2 over the last ten fiscal years. The report first describes the concerns leading to the amendment, including that ʹ2L1.2's 12- and 16-level increases were overly severe and led to variances, and that using the "categorical approach" to apply enhancements was overly complex, resource intensive, and increased litigation and uncertainty. After outlining the changes made by Amendment 802, the report assesses its impact on guideline application for ʹ2L1.2 offenders and on appeals involving ʹ2L1.2."--Page 1.
