How does deportation usually happen?

Deportation is the removal of an individual from the United States because they are in the country illegally. Typically, deportation begins with a Notice to Appear. This notice is issued by the Department of Homeland Security and informs the individual that they are being placed in removal proceedings. The notice will also provide information on the individual’s rights and how they can defend themselves before the immigration court. After the Notice to Appear is issued, a hearing will be scheduled before an immigration judge. The individual will have to attend the hearing, where they can present evidence and arguments to support their defense and their right to remain in the United States. Depending on the judge’s decision, the individual may be granted an extension and allowed to remain in the United States, or they may be ordered to leave the country. If the individual is ordered to leave the country, the court will issue an Order of Deportation. This document details the individual’s rights, the time period in which they must leave and any necessary travel arrangements. Sometimes the individual is taken into custody by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and transported to the airport for removal. If this does not happen, it is the individual’s responsibility to comply with the Order of Deportation and leave the country. Those who fail to comply may face criminal prosecution.

El proceso de deportación usualmente comienza cuando un individuo viola la ley de inmigración de Washington, acumulando evidencia para demostrarlo. Una vez que se haya acumulado suficiente evidencia para presentar una acusación, el individuo será arrestado por las autoridades de inmigración de Estados Unidos. Después de un arresto por infracciones a la ley de inmigración, el sospechoso recibirá una notificación oficial por parte del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) y será puesto a disposición de un juez de inmigración. El juez de inmigración decidirá si el individuo es o no deportable. Si el sospechoso es declarado deportable, el siguiente paso es que el ICE llevará a cabo la deportación. Esto significa que el individuo será detenido por el ICE y será transferido a un centro de detención para procesamiento antes de salir de los Estados Unidos. Una vez que un individuo es transferido a un centro de detención para su procesamiento, el ICE determinará si se le otorga una audiencia, la cual podría eventualmente permitirle al individuo regresar a los Estados Unidos. Si el individuo es declarado deportable, una vez que termine el procesamiento, el ICE le permitirá tiempo para arreglar sus asuntos a nivel local antes de partir. Finalmente, el ICE ordenará al individuo que salga del país.
