What Is Deportation or Removal?
Deportation—also known as removal—is the process by which the U.S. government seeks to remove non-citizens from the country for violating immigration laws. This process is carried out by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through immigration court proceedings under the authority of an immigration judge.
Common Reasons for Removal Proceedings Include:
- Overstaying a visa
- Illegal entry or re-entry
- Criminal convictions (including certain misdemeanors)
- Fraud or misrepresentation on immigration forms
- Violations of the terms of a visa or immigration status
- Failure to depart after a prior removal order
What Are Your Legal Defenses?
Just because you are in removal proceedings doesn’t mean you’ll be deported. Several forms of relief may be available depending on your history, family ties, and immigration status:
- Cancellation of Removal: For certain green card holders or undocumented immigrants who meet strict eligibility criteria
- Asylum, Withholding of Removal, or Protection under the Convention Against Torture: For those fearing persecution or torture in their home country
- Adjustment of Status: If you’re eligible for a green card through family, marriage, or employment
- Waivers of Inadmissibility: To forgive certain grounds of removability, such as unlawful presence or criminal history
- DACA or TPS Protections: If you are eligible for programs like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or Temporary Protected Status
- Voluntary Departure: In some cases, you may avoid a formal removal order and leave the U.S. voluntarily
