Was your client really “deported” five times at the border? Has your client ever been in removal proceedings?
How do you determine what actually occurred at the border and what are the immigration consequences? Was there a removal order at all? Was it expedited removal or voluntary departure? The panelists will also discuss removals that occur in a non-border context such as INA sec. 240 removal, in absentia removal orders and administrative removal. The panelists will discuss strategies for determining what occurred including: what questions to ask the client; FOIA requests and FBI Rap sheets.
