What does "USC" mean in the citation 8 USC § 1227?

United States Code
U.S. Court
Universal State Charter
United Services Council

The correct answer is: United States Code

In the citation 8 USC § 1227, "USC" stands for United States Code. The United States Code is a compilation of federal statutes and legal provisions organized by subject matter. Specifically, Title 8 of the USC relates to immigration and nationality law, and § 1227 pertains to the grounds for removal of certain non-citizens from the United States. Understanding this structure is essential for navigating and interpreting immigration law, as it shows how various laws are codified and classified. The citation format indicates the title and section of the law, making it easier for legal professionals, scholars, and the public to locate specific statutes. The other options do not align with established legal terminology or the structure of U.S. law.
