What is deportation?

Deportation is the removal of a non-citizen from the United States by the federal government. In South Carolina, deportation occurs when a non-citizen remains in the United States after his or her permission to remain has expired. This can occur after a criminal conviction or through other violations of immigration law. Non-citizens may also be deported if they are determined to be a threat to public safety or national security. Deportation is a complex process that begins with the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court. This document informs the non-citizen of the reasons for his or her removal and allows them to defend their case. If the non-citizen fails to appear in court, an order of removal will be issued. In some cases, non-citizens in the U.S. can challenge their deportation in court. This is known as an immigration bond. During this hearing, a judge can decide whether to release the non-citizen on bond while their case is pending or deny the bond request and order their deportation. If an order of removal is issued, the non-citizen must be repatriated to their country of origin. Prior to deportation, DHS will make arrangements for the non-citizen to be transported out of the United States. They may also be required to pay for the costs associated with their deportation. Deportation is a serious consequence for non-citizens who violate immigration laws. Anyone facing deportation should seek legal advice to determine their best possible options.

La deportación es el proceso de remover a una persona de un territorio de inmigración de forma forzada. La deportación se lleva a cabo según las leyes de inmigración de un país y generalmente significa que una persona es expulsada de los EE. UU., temporales o permanentemente. En el estado de Carolina del Sur, la ley de inmigración exige que el gobierno deporte a todas las personas que no estén autorizadas para vivir y trabajar en los EE. UU. Los dos procedimientos principales para la deportación son el arresto y el proceso de detención y deportación. El gobierno también puede usar su poder de expulsión para forzar la salida voluntaria de un inmigrante de los EE. UU., a menudo con una orden de detención que prohibe al inmigrante entrar al país de nuevo sin la aprobación de inmigración. La deportación es un asunto serio y muchas personas han dejado a sus familias y amigos atrás al ser deportados.
