I am a person currently being held on unrelated charges determined to be illegal & facing deportation. Can anything be done to stop it?

The answer depends upon the criminal charges you are facing or have been convicted of and your claim for relief. Convictions for some criminal offenses bar you from any relief from deportation. However, the immigration consequences of some criminal offenses can be waived or just go towards whether discretion should exercised. You should speak with an experienced immigration attorney as soon as possible to discuss your criminal issues, family ties to the U.S., immigration history, etc.
