What is Deportation and Removal?
Deportation
Typically applied to non-UK citizens convicted of a criminal offence, where the Home Office deems deportation to be in the public interest.
Removal
Involves individuals who have overstayed their visa or breached immigration conditions, leading to enforced removal from the UK.
