What is Removal Defense?
Removal defense is the legal process of defending an individual whom the U.S. government is trying to deport. When a person is placed in removal proceedings, their case is heard in Immigration Court before an Immigration Judge. Removal defense involves presenting legal arguments and evidence to show why that person should be allowed to remain in the United States. This is a complex and high-stakes area of law where the outcome can determine your entire future. Having a skilled attorney is critical to navigating the court system and building the strongest possible case.
How Can I Fight Deportation?
There are numerous strategies available to fight deportation, and the right one depends on the specific details of your case. An attorney can help you explore every available option.
Potential defenses against removal may include:
- Cancellation of Removal: This relief is available for certain permanent residents and non-permanent residents who can demonstrate long-term residence in the U.S., good moral character, and that their removal would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child.
- Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and Convention Against Torture: If you fear persecution or torture in your home country, you may be eligible for protection in the United States.
- Adjustment of Status: In some cases, it may be possible to apply for a Green Card before the Immigration Judge, even while in removal proceedings.
- Waivers of Inadmissibility: If you are inadmissible for a specific reason, such as a past criminal conviction or misrepresentation, you may be eligible to apply for a waiver to forgive that ground.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my attorney, Brittni Rivera, for her professionalism and support during a very difficult time.

Brittni did not ignore this issue — she took action and successfully…
