Deportees

Deportees are individuals who have been officially expelled from a country. This expulsion, or deportation, is usually ordered by the government for reasons such as violating immigration laws, committing crimes, posing a threat to national security, or overstaying their visas. The process involves removing these people, often by force, to their country of origin or another country that accepts them. deportees lose the right to live and work in the deporting country, and may face legal repercussions if they attempt to return without authorization. Their possessions are often seized or may be sent with them, depending on the severity of the infraction and local legal regulations. Their legal rights are usually severely restricted, with a lot depending on whether they are in detention before, during, or after the process of deportation. Many people will try to avoid this process and try to stay in the country they are at for as long as possible.
