Deportation/Removal proceedings are civil proceedings initiated by the U.S. Government against a non-citizen, in order to remove that person from the United States. Deportation/Removal proceedings are civil proceedings, not criminal proceedings, which is one reason there is a big misconception that once a person is done with the criminal justice system, they can no longer suffer adverse consequences as a result of a criminal plea or conviction.

In some cases, the U.S. Government will improperly charge a non-citizen as removable from the United States, whether by erring in the factual allegations set forth in the charging document, or by charging the non-citizen with an improper basis of removability.

Removability and inadmissibility are governed not only by statutes but also by ever evolving case law issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court.An effective and experienced Immigration attorney should be aware of the most recent case law developments in this area, as a particular ruling could have an immediate effect on a client's case.
