What are my rights during a deportation hearing?

When facing a deportation hearing in California, you have the right to be represented by an attorney. This attorney can help you review the facts and make sure your rights are protected during the hearing. You also have the right to present evidence to support your case. This could include documents such as birth certificates, Social Security cards, and proof of permanent residency. You also have the right to ask questions of the witnesses that are testifying against you and to have an interpreter available to help you understand the proceedings and help you communicate with your attorney. The interpreter should be fluent in the language in which you are being interviewed and should not be a witness or a government employee. You also have the right to remain silent during the hearing and to examine any documents presented by the government. Additionally, you have the right to cross-examine any witnesses the government presents in an effort to support their case. Be sure to discuss your specific rights with your attorney before the hearing.
