What happens during a deportation hearing?

A deportation hearing is the process by which an immigrant can challenge their removal from the United States. In Ohio, the hearing is held before an Immigration Judge. The hearing is an opportunity for the immigrant to explain why they should stay in the United States, and why they should not be removed. At the hearing, the immigrant is given the opportunity to present evidence and arguments in support of their case. The Immigration Judge will consider all written and oral testimony, as well as any applicable law, in determining whether the immigrant should be removed from the United States. The hearing typically consists of a series of questions from the Immigration Judge to the immigrant and to any witnesses on behalf of the immigrant. The Immigration Judge will also consider any evidence and documentary evidence provided by the immigrant. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Immigration Judge will issue a written decision as to whether the immigrant should be deported or not. If the immigrant is ordered to be removed, they can appeal the decision or seek to settle the case out of court. If the immigrant is successful in their appeal, they may be able to remain in the United States and will be allowed to apply for permanent residency.
