A charging document in the context of immigration is a formal document issued by the country's agency (e.g., U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)) that initiates removal proceedings against a noncitizen. It outlines the specific grounds for removal, such as violations of immigration laws or criminal convictions, and serves as the basis for the government's case in immigration court.
