Preventing Deportation from Roswell New Mexico

Most commonly, people are removed or deported after they have been arrested on unrelated criminal charges. However, officials may deport or remove persons based solely on the fact that they lack sufficient authorization to be in the country. If you have been arrested or face deportation from Roswell NM, it would be judicious to learn about your legal rights.

You May Be Deported from Roswell NM

Even if you are a legal U.S. immigrant, certain crimes may impose a possible deportation or removal punishment for offenses in Roswell, NM.

Violent felonies and drug charges are regularly grounds for removal. However, even misdemeanor crimes of moral turpitude such as theft or fraud- those that show lack of justice, honesty, or good morals- may be grounds for deportation or removal. If you are facing deportation or removal, you can contest the proceedings.

Those who have been in the United States for over 7 years or have reason to seek asylum may be able to prevent being deported. Some cities also have "safe harbor" laws that direct local officials not to report illegal immigrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement unless particular Federal laws require it. Present your case and Roswell NM Deportation or Removal Lawyers will examine your case and propose a legal plan of action.

Life in Roswell

Roswell, New Mexico is a city in Chaves County, New Mexico. It is the county seat of Chaves County. It has a population of about 46,000 people, as of the 2000 Census.

The first European-American settlers of the area arrived in 1865, and were from Missouri. However, they abandoned their settlement a few years later for lack of water. In 1869, two businessmen partnered up and built two adobe structures in what would become Roswell. They served as the general store and post office.

Roswell is perhaps best known for the 1947 "UFO event" that occurred about 75 miles outside the city. An object crash-landed in the desert, which many people believe (or like to believe) was an alien spacecraft. The far more likely explanation, however, is that the object was a package of experimental military equipment carried aloft by a balloon, and it was simply a test gone wrong.

Nonetheless, the legend persists, and many businesses in Roswell cater to the many UFO enthusiasts who visit the city.

The vast majority of Roswell's residents, however, have ordinary jobs and lead ordinary lives. Because the average person is more likely than not to need to hire a lawyer at some point in their lives, Roswell has a significant legal community. If you live in the Roswell area and have a legal problem, a Roswell, New Mexico lawyer is the person to call.
