A quick definition of deportation:

Deportation: When someone who is not from a country is sent back to their own country because they broke the rules. This can happen if they came to the country without permission, stayed too long, or did something bad. It's like being kicked out of a club for not following the rules. In the United States, a judge decides if someone should be deported and they might have to stay in a special place until the judge makes a decision. If the judge says they have to go, the person being deported has to go back to their own country. But sometimes the judge says they can stay in the United States.

A more thorough explanation:

Deportation is when a foreign person is officially sent back to their home country from another country. This usually happens because the person broke the rules of the country they were in. For example, they might have entered the country without permission, stayed too long, or did something illegal. Sometimes, a country might also deport someone who is a danger to others.

In the United States, the deportation process involves the foreign person going before a judge to decide if they should be sent back to their home country. If the judge decides they should be deported, the person will be held in a detention center until their home country agrees to take them back. However, the judge might also decide to let the person stay in the United States instead of being deported.

For example, if someone from Mexico enters the United States without permission and is caught, they might be deported back to Mexico. Or, if someone from Canada is in the United States on a work visa but gets arrested for a serious crime, they might be deported back to Canada.

These examples illustrate how deportation is the formal removal of a foreign person from a country because they broke the rules or are a danger to others.

Hey just wondering how to filter data by international Gpa? Can't seem to find this filter option
9:40
There’s no intuitive way to do this. The only way I can find is by going to each individual school, scrolling to the part that shows you all applicants for that year, and clicking on the GPA button until it filters them for the blank ones first. I’ve found by clicking on profiles that the ones with an LSAT listed and no GPA are almost universally international
