Deportation is the legal process of expelling individuals from a country due to various reasons, such as immigration violations, criminal offences, or national security concerns. It involves the removal of individuals from the country’s territory to their country of origin or another designated place. Deportation proceedings typically involve administrative hearings before immigration authorities or courts, where individuals may have the opportunity to contest their removal. Deportation laws and procedures vary among countries, and they often include provisions for appeals and legal representation for individuals facing deportation.
