Detention and Removal Proceedings

Detention and Removal Proceedings refer to the legal process used by immigration authorities to detain and potentially deport individuals who are in a country unlawfully or who have violated immigration laws. When someone is detained, they may face a hearing to determine their legal status and the possibility of removal from the country. This process includes reviewing their case, allowing them to present evidence or defenses, and ultimately deciding whether they can stay or must leave. It aims to ensure that immigration laws are applied fairly and consistently.
