A:
Yes, you can be deported if you have a deportation order and attend a court ceremony to get your driver's license. Immigration authorities may use such events to locate and apprehend individuals with outstanding deportation orders. Your presence at the court might alert law enforcement to your situation.
It's important to understand that having a deportation order means you are already on the radar of immigration enforcement. Attending any government-related event could increase the risk of being detained. This includes activities such as court appearances, applying for licenses, or other official matters.
Consider seeking legal advice to explore your options and understand the potential risks. There might be legal avenues to address your deportation order and possibly delay or halt the process. Stay informed about your rights and take steps to protect yourself.
