How long before you get deported?

If you have been in the U.S. for two weeks or longer and aren't close to the border, then you will go through the usual deportation process. This can take many weeks or months. With this process, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) gives an individual a Notice to Appear at removal proceedings.
