Getting deported, where are court files kept?

Question

So when a person is getting deported, they must appear before a judge. I'm guessing those records are public, so.......... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THOSE RECORDS ARE KEPT?.....would it be the same as the court records from any criminal proceeding?

Answer 1

It's not public record. It's a matter for INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) which is a part of the Federal Government, not the public courts.

And no, they don't go to court, they get put on a bus or a plane or a ship back to their country with police escort. There is no trial. If they cannot prove citizenship or don't have a work/school visa or any other permit, they are shipped home.

The only trial that would take place was if they were convicted of a different crime and part of their sentencing was to be extradited.

Illegals are deported, legal citizens who are criminals are extradited.
