Rights Of Aliens In U.S. Term Paper

Individuals who are arrested for a deportable offense can be held under mandatory detention by the U.S. Immigration Services until the immigration proceeding takes place, even though their only crime may be that they entered the U.S. without a visa or stayed without a visa (Steadman pp). Aliens in such proceeding may get a lawyer, but unlike in criminal cases, the government is under no obligation to provide one for them (Steadman pp).
