deportation policy

Removal governing framework

A deportation policy is a government's official approach to removing noncitizens from the country—who gets deported, under what circumstances, and how aggressively enforcement proceeds.

The term often appears in political debate: The administration's deportation policy prioritizes criminals over families.

Policies range from mass deportation programs to selective enforcement targeting specific violations.
