Which group is explicitly NOT entitled to INA 240?

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 240, certain individuals are provided with the right to a hearing before an immigration judge to contest their deportation or removal. In this context, stowaways are explicitly excluded from these provisions. Unlike lawful permanent residents, asylum seekers, and naturalized U.S. citizens, who have legal avenues to challenge removal decisions, stowaways do not have the same legal protections granted under INA 240. This exclusion is significant in immigration law, as stowaways are generally not considered to have entered the United States through lawful means, and therefore their rights to contest removal through the formal immigration process are not recognized in the same way.
