deportation
Ordered to leave
Deportation is the official removal of a person from a country, typically for violating immigration laws or committing serious crimes.
Governments deport foreign nationals who have entered illegally, overstayed visas, or been convicted of offenses that trigger expulsion: She faced deportation after her asylum claim was denied.
The process is administrative rather than criminal, though it often follows criminal proceedings.
