In 2002 the Homeland Security Act transfered the functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service to the Department of Homeland Security. As such the Attorney General functions as the Executive Office for Immigration Review.
The top reason for being deported from the US is having committed a serious crime. The person having committed the crime will usually be deported within 90 days by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Immigrants will want to make sure they do not end up in this situation as they do not have a lot of legal rights after having committed a crime.
What do you do if you find yourself in this situation? The only resource you will have is an immigration lawyer who may not be able to do much if you have been convicted of the crime.
