Common Reasons for Deportation

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is responsible for enforcing immigration laws. Deportation can occur if an individual is found to be in violation of these laws, such as:

• Criminal Activity – The relationship between criminal behavior and deportation is a serious one. If an immigrant is convicted of certain crimes, particularly those involving moral turpitude, drug trafficking, or aggravated felonies, they are at high risk of deportation. Even minor offenses can sometimes trigger the deportation process.
• Overstaying Visas or Violating Terms of Entry – The terms of a visa or entry can be more complex than they initially appear. It's a common pitfall for visitors to overstay their welcome or for students and workers to violate the conditions of their visas without realizing the severe implications this can have on their immigration status.
• Violating Immigration Laws – Immigration laws are nuanced, and many actions—such as working without proper authorization or harboring someone who is illegally in the U.S.—can lead to deportation. Knowing and abiding by these laws is essential.

Other reasons you might be deported include:

• Fraud (such as faking a marriage)
• Not informing USCIS of a change of address
• Your circumstances change in a way that means your visa is no longer supported
• Illegally entering the United States
• Receiving public assistance

These are not the only reasons, but they represent some of the most common pathways to removal from the U.S. for immigrants.

What Does the Removal Process Involve?

The removal process is typically initiated when you receive a Notice to Appear. The Notice to Appear will outline a hearing date. It is of utmost importance that you attend this hearing, as well as all others scheduled by the court. Any disregard for instructions could not only jeopardize your current chances of fighting deportation but also have negative implications for you in the future.

Following this, the next phase generally involves a Master Calendar hearing. While this is a brief procedure, it holds significance as it presents an opportunity for you to submit any applications for removal relief. In the Master Hearing, the court will decide how the case will proceed. Subsequently, you will be called to a hearing where the court will evaluate the merits of your case.

Our Orlando deportation defense lawyer's consistent presence throughout the process is vital to ensure that you can leverage all opportunities available to contest the removal.
