What Is the Deportation Process?
Deportation is the removal of a foreign immigrant from the U.S. It’s important to understand that those who come to the U.S. without a travel visa or forged documents might be deported quickly and without an immigration hearing. This is called expedited removal, and it can prevent their return for up to five years or longer. However, there are some people who might go before a judge in a longer removal process.
Below is the typical deportation process in the United States:
1. Detained: Once your loved one is detained for deportation; they will be held in a detention center before the trail or removal. Find the ICE detention facilities here or search your loved one’s name here.
2. Hearing: Then, an immigration court of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will hear their case. It’s important to have strong legal representation during this time since this is when the judge will decide if the deportation will proceed.
3. Removal: If the judge decided that the deportation proceeds, it is likely that they will be deported by air at U.S. government expense. However, there are some cases when immigrants are deported by ground deportation.
Rapid REPAT
The ICE Rapid REPEAT (Removal of Eligible Parolees Accepted for Transfer) is a program that expedites deportations for criminal immigrants. This program allows selected criminal immigrants who are incarcerated in U.S. prisons and jails to accept early release in exchange for voluntarily returning to their country of origin.
