What is the Difference Between Removal and Deportation Proceedings?

Deportation proceedings and removal proceedings are often used interchangeably to describe the legal process by which the U.S. government aims to expel non-citizens from the country. However, in 1996, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) replaced the term “deportation” with “removal” to portray the process as less punitive and more administrative in nature.

If you are facing a risk of deportation, you may have various potential arguments to help you stay in the United States. Many immigrants who are in the process of being removed from the United States find themselves appearing before an immigration judge in Immigration Court. While a lawyer could assist in preventing deportation, the outcome depends on the specific circumstances of your case. Legal representation involves presenting a case during removal proceedings, asserting that you should be allowed to remain in the United States due to factors such as a genuine fear of persecution in your home country or other humanitarian considerations. It’s important to note that successfully stopping deportation is challenging, and there are no guarantees of success. Working with a qualified immigration attorney can improve the chances of a favorable outcome, but prompt action and seeking legal assistance as soon as possible are crucial when facing removal proceedings.
