8 U.S. Code § 1229a

8 U.S. Code § 1229a outlines the procedures for immigration hearings in the United States. It describes how an individual facing removal (deportation) can request a hearing before an immigration judge. The section details the rights of the person involved, including the ability to present evidence and call witnesses. It also covers the judge's authority to grant relief from removal, such as asylum or cancellation of removal. The goal is to ensure that individuals can contest their removal in a fair legal process.
