What happens during a deportation hearing?

During a deportation hearing, an immigrant’s legal status in the United States is reviewed. The process is handled in an immigration court located in North Carolina. First, the individual should receive a Notice to Appear which informs them of the reasons why they are facing deportation. During the hearing, the Immigration Judge will examine the individual’s case to determine if they should be removed from the country or allowed to stay. The judge will also assess the individual’s eligibility for asylum or other forms of relief that may be available. The individual appearing in court can represent themselves or hire a lawyer if they choose. During the hearing, the individual may present evidence and arguments that support their case. The judge will also question the individual and any witnesses to gain a better understanding of the situation. If the judge decides that the individual should be deported, they will issue an order of removal. This is a decision of the judge that can be appealed if the individual wishes to try to remain in the United States. It is possible for the judge to decide to let the individual stay in the United States if their case merits it. In this case, the judge will issue an order of relief which allows the individual to gain legal status in the country. The individual then needs to complete additional paperwork in order to obtain a formal legal status. Regardless of the outcome, it is important to remember that each individual’s case is unique and the outcome of a deportation hearing can be difficult to predict.

Durante una audiencia de deportación, el proceso judicial para determinar si una persona debe ser deportada comienza. Estas audiencias se llevan a cabo ante un juez federal de inmigración autorizado en Carolina del Norte. El juez determinará si el individuo en cuestión debe ser deportado o no. Durante la audiencia, el acusado tendrá la oportunidad de presentar argumentos para demostrar que no debe ser deportado. Algunos de los motivos comunes para evitar la deportación incluyen: residir legalmente en los Estados Unidos, ser titular de una tarjeta verde, haber entrado al país antes de los 21 años o haber nacido aquí. El abogado del acusado también presentará evidencia para mostrar que el acusado tiene relaciones establecidas en los Estados Unidos y/o contribuciones al país. Además, el abogado revisará la evidencia para ver si se cumplen los requisitos legales establecidos para la deportación, que incluyen el arresto, la frontera sin autorización, la violación de la residencia. El juez escuchará ambos argumentos y luego decidirá si el deportado debe ser deportado o si la deportación debe ser cancelada. Si el juez ordena la deportación, el acusado tendrá la oportunidad de apelar la decisión del juez.
