“The New Colossus“
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
~ Emma Lazarus

Frequently Asked Question

  • #1 Who can be deported?

    The short answer is that anyone who is not a US citizen can be deported. Immigrants in the process of becoming a citizen who breaks the law can face deportation. Additionally, anyone who has illegally entered the US can be deported.



  • #2 Can I represent myself?

    On the surface, the answer seems like yes. You can request all forms and submit them. However, in the current political climate, it is critical to not only know the fine points of immigration law but also how to navigate the complexities of the immigration system and courts. The Law Office of Michael Segreto can help.

  • #3 If a family member has been deported, is it possible for them to return to the US legally?

    It is difficult and, in some cases, impossible for someone who has been deported to return to the US.  There are circumstances, where after a set waiting period, a person can reapply to return to the US.  They are complicated… but we may be able to help.
