I was released on federal parole and subsequently deported. Does my deportation cancel or end my parole term?

No. Federal courts have determined that in most cases, a person’s federal parole term continues even if they have been deported to another country.^[3470] While your term of supervision will continue to run while you’re abroad, if you reenter the country illegally in that time period, you could face even greater consequences.^[3471]
