What Is Deportation Defense?
Deportation defense is the legal process that prevents an immigrant from being removed from the United States. This process gives the affected individual the opportunity to demonstrate why he or she should remain on U.S. soil.
Considering the complexity of the process and the need to present an effective deportation defense, having immigration attorneys who specialize in deportation is essential. With extensive knowledge of immigration law and dedication, Garcia Immigration Group will help you get through this situation.

Possible Grounds for Deportation
Misrepresentation
If a person provides false information to immigration authorities, he or she may also be subject to deportation. This may include lying about your marital status, criminal record, or any other information you are asked to provide during the immigration process.
Migratory irregularities
If a person enters the United States illegally without proper authorization or overstays his or her visa, he or she may be subject to deportation.
Visa violations and irregularities
Failure to comply with the stipulated visa conditions, such as not studying when holding a student visa, or working when not holding a work visa, may be reasonable grounds for deportation.
Crimes
Committing crimes, including fraud, drug trafficking, violence, or crimes of a sexual nature, can lead to a person being deported.
Public Benefits Fraud
Some public benefits are not extended to non-immigrant visa holders, therefore, receiving them may be grounds for deportation.
Security threat
If an individual poses a threat to national security, he or she may be deported.
What Documents Should You Consider for a Deportation Defense Case?
Birth certificate and other documents. It is essential in a deportation defense case to have any proof of identity or relationship to family members who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Clarifying these relationships can be of great help in making an adjustment of status possible.
Immigration documents. Gather any documents you have on any other immigration case. Proof of legal entry into the country, length of stay, and/or proof of good conduct may be helpful.
Judicial records. If you have cases with court records, you will need to present them in your deportation defense. If you were a victim or accused of a crime, you may be able to apply for an immigration waiver.
Family support. Letters of support written by family or friends attesting to your moral character and/or the importance of your presence on U.S. soil may help your deportation defense case.

Cancellation of removal
