Since you are a citizen you can either stay here (maybe you have some relatives or friends) or you can leave the country with you parents. You will always have the right to live here regardless of how long you may live outside of the U.S. Are the deportation orders for your parents final or are they still in proceedings? Either way they may still be eligible for some relief.

I am an immigration attorney who specializes in deportation. If you would like a free consultation you can call and make an appointment and I would be happy to speak with you and your family.

You cannot be deported since you are a US citizen. The fact that your parents have deportation orders means that you have the choice of staying in the US with other family / relatives, or you can leave the US with your parents. If you choose to leave the US with your parents, you can always return no matter how long you are outside of the country. Your parents may be eligible to apply for relief from deportation, and under certain circumstances, may be eligible to challenge the deportation orders. I am available to speak with your family if they are interested in scheduling a consultation with my office.
