What is deportation?

Deportation is the expulsion of a person or persons from a country or state. It is an official action taken by the government of a country or state, and is used as a tool to enforce immigration laws. In New Hampshire, deportation is a process by which foreign nationals and permanent residents, who are found to have committed crimes or have violated immigration laws, are removed from the United States. Deportation proceedings are initiated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they deem that an individual has violated immigration laws. In some cases, deportation proceedings may be initiated by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS). When individuals are served a Notice to Appear in Immigration Court, they are given the opportunity to defend themselves and present evidence to fight their deportation. After considering the evidence presented by the person and the immigration prosecutors, the Immigration Judge will make a decision on whether or not to deport the individual. If the individual is ordered to be deported, they must leave the country within the time frame specified on the order. Deportation is a serious action and can have serious consequences for those involved. It can mean losing the right to remain in the United States, loss of property and family ties, and even extended jail time. For this reason, it is important for those facing deportation proceedings to seek the assistance of a qualified immigration attorney to help with their case.

La deportación es una forma de expulsión de un extranjero de un territorio jurídico. En New Hampshire, la ley de inmigración establece que cualquier extranjero que sea legalmente admitido en el estado puede ser deportado si viola la ley de inmigración o cualquier otra ley de los Estados Unidos de América o de New Hampshire. Algunos motivos comunes para la deportación incluyen delitos de drogas, delitos violentos, fraude de inmigración, etc. En la deportación, una persona legalmente admitida en el estado de New Hampshire debe abandonar el país dentro de un plazo específico que generalmente es de 30 días. Si una persona no cumple con la fecha límite establecida, podría pasar mucho tiempo antes de que pueda volver a entrar al país de forma legal. Tenga en cuenta que la ley de inmigración también es aplicable a aquellos que entran al estado de forma ilegal. Si una persona inmigrante ilegal es arrestada por cualquier motivo, el estado puede solicitar que sea puesta en proceso de deportación.
