What Is The Most Common Reason For Deportation Or Removal From The United States?
The most common reason for deportation and removal from the U.S. is Entry Without Inspection. In other words, this means that a person has tried to or has successfully entered the U.S. without a visa.
The second most common reason is that a person has committed one of a few certain crimes.
There are three offenses that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) refers to as a Crime of Moral Turpitude. They include: violent crimes, financial crimes, and drug-related crimes.
Any offense of these three crimes will put you in the path of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). At which point, if you are apprehended, ICE will place you into removal proceedings.
What Is The Difference Between Removal And Deportation?
The terms removal and deportation are generally used interchangeably.
Typically, the courts use the term “Removal Proceedings” to describe the process of determining whether a person will be deported from the U.S.
Meanwhile, deportation is the specific act of removing someone from the U.S.
