Effective July 27, 2006, Congress passed a law which adds a new deportation ground to the INA making deportable “[a]ny alien who is convicted under [18 U.S.C. §  2250] . . . .”[146]  While a federal conviction of violating 18 U.S.C. §  2250 triggers deportation and disqualification from eligibility for cancellation of removal for non-lawful permanent residents,[147] it does not appear to trigger any other major adverse immigration consequences. 

  
        
[146] INA §  237(a)(2)(A)(v), 8 U.S.C. §  1227(a)(2)(A)(v), added by Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, HR 4472, PL 109-248, §  401 (July 27, 2006).  
    
[147] See §  24.5, infra.
