The guarantees under the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, such as the right to counsel, and the right to a jury trial, have not been held to apply to civil immigration proceedings. As a result, people generally represent themselves in asylum and deportation cases unless they can afford an immigration lawyer or receive assistance from a legal charity. In contrast, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment "has" been applied to immigration proceedings. Because the right to confrontation in the Sixth Amendment does not apply, people can be ordered deported "in absentia" - without being present at the immigration proceeding.
