If you are facing removal, it’s in your best interest to contact an attorney as soon as you can. Our skilled Chicago immigration attorneys are committed to providing aggressive removal defense. At Title 8 U.S. Code § 1227 identifies multiple classes of deportable aliens.

The most common way people end up being deported is being placed into removal proceedings for criminal convictions or marriage fraud. The process begins when United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) accuses a noncitizen of being removable. When a person is placed in deportation proceedings, they are scheduled to appear before an immigration judge who decides whether to order the person to be deported or not.

Other removal proceedings may include expedited removals for people who are in the United States without documentation or have misrepresented material facts in order to obtain admission and reinstatement of removal for people who were ordered deported and came back to the United States without permission. Following an adverse immigration decision by a judge, people do have the right to appeal the decisions, but will want to have a Chicago immigration attorney.
