Facing Removal or Deportation? Understanding Your Rights and Your Defense

Receiving a Notice to Appear (NTA) from the Department of Homeland Security is one of the most stressful experiences an individual or family can face. It marks the beginning of formal removal proceedings, often referred to as deportation. However, it is crucial to remember that an NTA is not a final order of deportation, it is the beginning of a legal process where you have rights, including the right to legal representation and the right to present a defense.

At Anthony Marcus Law Firm, we understand the high stakes involved in immigration litigation. Based in Newport Beach, our firm specializes in providing aggressive, personalized defense for those facing the threat of removal from the United States.

Common Grounds for Removal

Removal proceedings can be initiated for a variety of reasons, including:

• Status Violations: Overstaying a visa or failing to maintain the conditions of your legal status.

• Criminal Convictions: Certain criminal offenses including those handled by our criminal defense team can trigger immigration consequences.

• Entry Issues: Allegations of illegal entry or visa fraud.

Potential Defenses Against Deportation

The U.S. immigration system is complex, but there are several legal avenues that may allow you to remain in the country:

• Cancellation of Removal: Available to certain long term residents who can demonstrate that their removal would cause "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship" to a qualifying U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident relative.

• Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and CAT: Protection for those who fear persecution in their home country.

• Adjustment of Status: Resolving your status through a family based or employment based petition even while in proceedings.

• Waivers of Inadmissibility: Legal "forgiveness" for certain prior conduct or immigration violations.
