Cape Coral, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Although the time for getting help from an immigration attorney should have been at the moment you learned that ICE sought to remove/deport you, you still should be able to get relief. A U.S. Citizen is not subject to removal/deportation, although in some instances, such as where fraud it alleged to have taken place in the naturalization process, a U.S. Citizen may be subjected to a formal denaturalization process. My firm's practice is exclusively immigration law, but does not include the type of immigration issues you raised.
