Deportation and Removal Proceedings

Deportation and removal proceedings are legal processes through which the government seeks to remove a non-citizen from the country. This can happen if someone violates U.S. immigration laws, such as overstaying a visa or committing a crime. During these proceedings, an individual has the right to present their case before an immigration judge, which may include applying for relief from removal. The outcome can lead to deportation, allowing the individual to leave the U.S., or staying in the country if they qualify for legal protections. These processes ensure that immigration laws are upheld fairly.
