Removal defense involves defending immigrants facing deportation from the United States. The process starts with receiving a Notice to Appear and a hearing notice from Immigration Court. An immigrant then appears before an immigration judge and has the option of requesting to leave the US, or putting forward a defense to continue to stay in the US and possibly achieve or maintain legal status. Legal representation is one of the most important factor in determining whether someone will win or lose this type of case.
Removal proceedings can be started against you if you overstayed your visa, an application filed on your behalf was rejected by USCIS, you entered the US without inspection, you were charged and/or convicted of a crime, or you were protected from deportation because of programs like TPS or DACA which is ending soon. Most immigrants who are placed in removal proceedings have a lot to loose. They risk loosing their home and family and being sent back to their country of nationality.
In order to avoid the drastic consequences of deportation, you have to convince a judge based on legal authority and your personal circumstances why you should not be deported. Your removal proceedings end with a trial in front of the judge where both USCIS attorneys and you present evidence to convince a judge.
