Being placed in removal (deportation) proceedings is frightening, but it is not the end of the road. These removal-defense guides explain how immigration court works—from the Notice to Appear and master calendar hearings to your individual merits hearing—and the rights you have at every stage.
You'll find explainers on common defenses, including cancellation of removal for non-permanent residents and lawful permanent residents, and how relief such as asylum or adjustment of status can be raised in court. Deportation cases move quickly and the consequences are serious, so read up here and speak with a licensed immigration lawyer as early as you can.
