<p>The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the psychological impact of the deportation process on Mexican immigrants. This study used a phenomenological approach to analyze interviews with 10 individuals who were deported from the United States. Data analysis revealed the presence of three main categories: <em>Deportation Trauma</em>, <em>Starting Over</em>, and <em>Emotional Scars</em>. The first main category, <em>The Trauma of Deportation</em>, was divided into two sub-categories: <em>Fear of the unknown</em> and <em>Feeling vulnerable</em>. The second main category, <em>Starting Over</em>, was divided into three sub-categories: <em>Feeling like a failure</em>, <em>Adjusting to a new life</em>, and <em>Unrealized dreams</em>. The last main category, <em>Emotional Scars</em>, was divided into two sub-categories: <em>Depression</em> and <em>Sadness.</em> Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are also presented.</p>
