Understanding Deportation Defense

Deportation, or removal, involves the process of expelling a non-citizen from the United States due to violations of immigration laws. Common reasons for receiving a Notice to Appear (NTA) include:

  • Illegal presence in the U.S.
  • Visa overstays
  • Violations of visa terms
  • Criminal convictions
  • Fraudulent activities
  • Smuggling immigrants

The Deportation Process

The deportation process involves several key stages:

  1. Notice to Appear (NTA): The process begins with ICE serving you an NTA, which includes claims the government must prove to deport you.
  2. Master Calendar Hearing: You will be asked if you need time to obtain a deportation attorney. It’s crucial to have legal representation at this stage.
  3. Individual Hearing: Present your case, testimony, and evidence to the immigration judge. An attorney’s support is vital during this stage.
  4. Decision: The judge makes a decision. If deported, you have 30 days to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

Common Deportation Defense Strategies

We employ a variety of defense strategies to protect your rights and prevent deportation:

  • Asylum: If returning to your home country poses a danger, you may request asylum.
  • Criminal Waivers: Seek waivers for past criminal convictions if you are a permanent resident or applying for permanent residency.
  • Cancellation of Removal: For individuals who have lived in the U.S. for ten years, displayed good moral character, and whose deportation would cause exceptional hardship to a U.S. citizen relative.
  • Adjustment of Status: If your Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) is approved, you may adjust your status and avoid deportation.
  • Motions to Terminate or Suppress: Challenge procedural errors or violations of your rights that may invalidate the deportation process.

Your Rights During Deportation Proceedings

Despite facing removal, you have the following rights:

  • Fair Hearing: Present your case and evidence.
  • Legal Representation: The right to a deportation attorney, although not provided free of charge.
