Definition

Deportation refers to the forced removal of people, either individuals or collectives, from a specific geographic area, typically a region, country, or nation. Deportations in the modern period have been initiated and carried out usually by nation-state bodies, such as ministries of immigration or citizenship or through agencies of border security.
