What are Removal Proceedings?

Removal proceedings are the process the U.S. government uses to deport a non-citizen. The process starts when you receive a document called a “Notice to Appear” (NTA). This NTA orders you to go to Immigration Court on a certain date. At the hearing, a government lawyer will argue why you should be deported, and an Immigration Judge will make the final decision. You have the right to have your own lawyer fight for you in court.

Common Defenses Against Deportation

Even if the government proves you are deportable, you may have options to stay. We will see if you qualify for any form of “relief,” such as:

  • Adjustment of Status: Applying for your green card in front of the judge.
  • Cancellation of Removal: A defense for some people who have lived in the U.S. for many years and have family here.
  • Asylum: Protection for people who are afraid to return to their home country.
  • Prosecutorial Discretion: Asking the government lawyer to close your case.

One of the most common ways to defend against deportation is to seek protection.
