Understanding Deportation Under the Immigration and Nationality Act
Deportation, also known as removal, is a federal immigration proceeding under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1229a. The Department of Homeland Security initiates removal proceedings by filing a Notice to Appear (NTA) with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). The NTA charges that you are removable from the United States based on grounds such as unlawful presence, criminal convictions, or visa violations. A Deportation Defense Lawyer Herkimer County can evaluate the charges and identify potential defenses or forms of relief.
