Deporting refers to the official process by which a government forces a non-citizen to leave its territory, usually for legal or administrative reasons. It is typically carried out after a formal procedure, such as an immigration or criminal hearing, where authorities decide that the person may no longer remain in the country. Deporting can result from visa violations, unlawful entry, criminal offenses, or security concerns. The process often involves detention, transportation to the person’s country of origin or another accepting state, and legal restrictions on reentry. Deporting is a serious state measure with significant human and social consequences.
