Deportations

Immigration Law - Deportations

Definition:

Under immigration law, deportations are the removal of alliens from the U.S when the alien has violated the immigration laws. Deportations are ordered by immigration judges, even if no prior punishment has been imposed. Those who go through a deportation, or removal, are usually immigrants who have entered the U.S illegally or non-citizens who have committed serious crimes.

Consequences of Deportation:

Deportations occur year after year and cause thousands of people to be separated from their family, friends, and communities. Families and businesses suffer and the person removed from the country must start their immigration and citizenship applications from the very beginning. In some cases, deportations are so severe that individuals are completely barred from returning to the U.S. That's why it is important to begin paperwork as soon as possible.

What a Lawyer can do for you:

A deportation lawyer works with government agencies and knows how complex the immigration laws are. They work to defend people through their deportation arrangements. A lawyer can give you legal options that may allow you to stay in the country or that may allow you to return to the U.S after being deported. A deportation lawyer could also help get a criminal deportation off your record.
