The number of immigrants who are being deported from the United States is at a record high this year. Last year, 392,862 immigrants were deported. Over half (195,772) of those immigrants were convicted criminals. Both of these numbers are record highs. If you are an immigrant who gets caught up with the possibility of deportation and removal, be sure to contact a competent removal proceedings immigration attorney. You may be eligible for relieve from removal from the United States.
A disconcerting part of the record deportation numbers released by DHS, is the department’s refusal to release statistical information about the immigrants deported without criminal records. When will the DHS learn that transparency is the best approach?
