Immigration Detention and Removal

Immigration detention refers to the practice of holding individuals who are not authorized to stay in a country while their legal immigration status is being determined. This can happen if someone is seeking asylum or has overstayed a visa. During detention, the person's case is reviewed by immigration authorities or courts. If they are deemed to be without legal status, they may be removed, or deported, from the country. This process is governed by immigration administrative law, which sets the rules and procedures for how these cases are handled, ensuring individuals have opportunities to present their circumstances.
