Deportation proceedings are a significant aspect of immigration policy in both the United States and Brazil. In the U.S., these proceedings occur in immigration courts with formal due process rights. In Brazil, such proceedings are less common historically but are becoming more relevant as immigration increases. The term carries serious legal and social implications, affecting millions of families. Immigration law and deportation proceedings represent major political topics in both countries, with advocacy groups and NGOs heavily involved in supporting immigrants facing removal.
