Deportations refer to the process of removing individuals from a country, typically because they do not have legal permission to stay. This can happen for various reasons, including violations of immigration laws or criminal activity. Governments often carry out deportations to enforce their immigration policies and maintain national security. The individuals who are deported may be sent back to their country of origin or another country willing to accept them. The process can involve legal proceedings, and those facing deportation may have the opportunity to appeal the decision. Deportations can significantly impact families and communities, leading to emotional and social challenges.
