When it comes to immigration and residency, understanding the legal procedures is crucial
What is deportation
Deportation is the process of removing a noncitizen from the U.S. for violating immigration law.
Deportation, also known as removal, can occur for various reasons. These include criminal convictions, visa or immigration violations, and non-compliance with the terms of your status. The first step in navigating the process is understanding the specific grounds that could lead to deportation.
Initiation of Deportation Proceedings:
Deportation proceedings are usually initiated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. If you’re subject to potential removal, you’ll receive a Notice to Appear detailing the reasons for your potential deportation. This begins the legal process and underscores the importance of seeking professional legal guidance.
The U.S. may detain and deport noncitizens who:
- Participate in criminal acts
- Are a threat to public safety
- Violate their visa
After a noncitizen is detained, they may go before a judge in immigration court during the deportation (removal) process. In some cases, a noncitizen is subject to expedited removal without being able to attend a hearing in immigration court. Expedited removal may happen when a noncitizen:
- Comes to the U.S. without proper travel documents
- Uses forged travel documents
- Does not comply with their visa or other entry document requirements
You may appeal some deportation rulings.
- Before appealing the ruling, find legal services. You may also be able to find help from a nonprofit legal organization.
- For questions about filing an appeal, contact a USCIS office
