Main topic: Deportation ::: Sub topic: Deportation

Deportation is for most immigrants a dreaded affair. Every year, the United States deport thousands of immigrants and nonimmigrants.

Formerly referred to as INS deportation, immigration deportation is the removal of an individual from the U.S. in accordance with American immigration and deportation laws. In most cases, the deported individual is returned to his country of origin.

Retaining a deportation attorney
Deportation attorneys are often retained to assist immigrants who are facing deportation. A strong familiarity with deportation law and immigration laws in general is very helpful.
