Understanding Removal Defense Services:
Removal proceedings, also known as deportation proceedings, begin when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issues a Notice to Appear in immigration court. These proceedings involve a complex set of legal processes, making it important to have experienced guidance.
At Marcano Legal, our goal is to help safeguard your right to live and work in the U.S. by exploring all available options for deportation defense, including applications for relief and potential appeals.
Navigating Deportation Proceedings
Every immigration case is unique, and individuals may require specialized legal advice from a deportation attorney. We develop personalized removal defense strategies for:
- Undocumented immigrants
- Green card holders facing deportation
- DACA recipients concerned about status renewal
- Individuals with criminal convictions facing removal or deportation
Your Rights During Deportation Proceedings:
When facing deportation, understanding your rights is essential to building a strong defense. Individuals in removal proceedings have specific rights, including:
- Right to a Fair Hearing: You have the right to present evidence, challenge charges, and apply for relief before an immigration judge.
- Right to Legal Representation: Although the government does not provide legal representation, you have the right to hire an immigration attorney to assist with your case.
- Interpretation Services: If English is not your primary language, a court-appointed interpreter will be available during proceedings in immigration court.
Key Deportation Defense Strategies:
Each immigration case is unique, and our approach to deportation defense is designed to fit the specific needs of our clients. Some of the strategies we may discuss with you include:
- Asylum and Withholding of Removal: For individuals who fear persecution in their home countries due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
- Cancellation of Removal: Available for qualifying individuals, such as lawful permanent residents or those who have established long-term residency in the U.S. and meet certain criteria.
- Adjustment of Status: For individuals who may qualify for lawful permanent residency through family or employment ties.
- Deferred Action: Temporary relief from deportation for specific situations, allowing time to pursue other legal options.
- Appeals and Motions to Reopen: Challenging existing deportation orders with new evidence or arguments.
