deporting

Sending aliens back

Deporting is the act of legally expelling someone from a country, typically for immigration violations or criminal activity.

Governments deport foreign nationals who have overstayed visas, entered illegally, or committed deportable offenses: They're deporting him back to Guatemala.

The process often involves detention before removal.
