And maybe you don't care, thinking that sitting outside the US for 1 year doesn't sound that harsh. But if they've been deported, they're not eligible (without a waiver that takes ~5 yrs to process) to return to the US for 10 years, even if they have an approved U Visa.

E.g., in Dallas Imm. Ct., ERO agents now patrol inside the courthouse. ICE is sending letters to people with pending asylum cases in court, and who were paroled. When they show up to ICE, they're arrested.

If you don't have a defense available (e.g., asylum, 42b, etc.), your appeal is going to be over very quickly. And remember that a removal order affirmed by the BIA and appealed to the Cir. Ct. is final, so can be executed by ICE.

An approved I-192 won't help you if you're subsequently ordered removed.
And I cannot emphasize this enough—examples like these are examples of people who are trying their goddamn best to do it the right way.
