A: More information is needed. The facts are unclear, but you suggest that there is a final order of removal/deportation. This significantly complicates matters.

There are risks. Did you just turn18 years old? What, if any, form of relief is available? A series of other facts still remain unknown.

As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications. Good luck.
