Get help from a deportation lawyer before you get picked up by ICE. Get legal advice about reopening your deportation case as soon as possible after you find out about the deportation order. If possible, do not wait until you are picked up by ICE. As soon as Ice begins removal proceedings, it gets much harder to reopen the deportation case.
When Can a Deportation Case Be Reopened?
There are three primary reasons that a deportation case can be reopened. To ask for reopening of a deportation case, your lawyer must make a formal application to an immigration court judge. The application to reopen the deportation case must state that one or more of the following situations is true:
- The immigrant did not have notice of the deportation hearing. This often happens when an unethical lawyer or notary public (notario) promises to represent the immigrant at the deportation hearing but then abandons the case. If the hearing proceeds without the immigrant being present, because the immigrant had no notice of the hearing, then an immigration judge can order the case reopened.
- Conditions in the home country have changed, and it would be a serious hardship for the immigrant to return to the home country.
- Unusual circumstances exist such that the government should agree to reopen the deportation case even though neither of the above situations exist.
