Our deportation defense attorneys have represented Brooklyn residents in removal proceedings, bond hearings, BIA appeals, and Second Circuit federal court. We know New York Immigration Court procedure and fight every available defense aggressively.
Brooklyn's large immigrant population — representing over 37% of Brooklyn's residents — faces real and ongoing risk of immigration enforcement. From communities in Sunset Park and Flatbush to Bay Ridge and Canarsie, Brooklyn families include many individuals who may receive Notices to Appear, face ICE encounters, or find themselves in removal proceedings without warning.
At Mandi Law Group, we provide aggressive, strategic deportation defense for Brooklyn residents. Our attorneys appear in New York Immigration Court, represent clients at bond hearings, file BIA appeals, and take cases to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals when necessary. We have successfully fought deportation for Brooklyn clients from the Caribbean, Latin America, West Africa, South Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
Every deportation case is different. Some clients have relief options they are not aware of. Others have been wrongly placed in proceedings. We conduct a full case review to identify every defense available — and we fight for it.

A Notice to Appear (NTA) is a document that initiates removal (deportation) proceedings against you. It is critical to act immediately. Do NOT miss any court date listed on the NTA — missing a hearing can result in an in absentia (in your absence) removal order. Contact an immigration attorney immediately. We represent Brooklyn residents from their first immigration court hearing through appeals. Call (518) 698-0347 right away.
Defense options depend on your specific circumstances but may include: (1) Cancellation of Removal — for LPRs or non-LPRs with qualifying U.S. ties; (2) Asylum — if you fear persecution in your home country; (3) Withholding of Removal or CAT protection; (4) Adjustment of Status in court; (5) Prosecutorial Discretion motions; (6) Challenges to the grounds of removability; (7) Motions to Terminate Proceedings. We evaluate every case individually.
A criminal conviction does not automatically result in deportation, but certain offenses are classified as 'aggravated felonies' or 'crimes involving moral turpitude' that can make an individual deportable. The analysis is complex and fact-specific. We review criminal records in context of immigration law to determine what defenses remain available. In some cases, post-conviction relief (vacating or reducing the conviction) may open new immigration options. We work with post-conviction specialists where needed.
First, locate them using the ICE Detainee Locator at locator.ice.gov. Then contact an immigration attorney immediately — time is critical for detained individuals. We represent detained Brooklyn residents and can: appear at bond hearings to request release, challenge immigration holds, file emergency motions, and represent the detainee in removal proceedings. ICE detention cases move faster than non-detained cases — do not delay in seeking help.
Non-LPR (undocumented) Cancellation of Removal is a form of relief available if you: (1) have been physically present in the U.S. for at least 10 continuous years; (2) have good moral character during that period; and (3) can prove that your removal would cause 'exceptional and extremely unusual hardship' to a qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR spouse, parent, or child. The hardship standard is very high. We prepare detailed hardship briefs and gather extensive supporting evidence for Brooklyn Cancellation cases.
Yes. A removal order from New York Immigration Court can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The BIA appeal must typically be filed within 30 days of the immigration judge's decision. If the BIA affirms the removal order, further appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals (which covers New York) is possible. We handle BIA and Second Circuit appeals for Brooklyn and all NYC-area clients.
Time is critical in deportation cases. Our Brooklyn-serving attorneys are available to review your case immediately and identify every available defense.
