You need to have a full consultation with a competent immigration attorney to access your options to remain in the US. You can still be deported despite having a US citizen child.

Yes, you can be deported despite the fact that you have a US citizen baby. You need to find a basis for US permanent residence. Typically a family-based petition is the most common, as the spouse of a US citizen. Are you planning on marrying a US citizen? If so, he can file for your green card.

Having a baby does not automatically entitle you to legal residence. You need to consult with an immigration attorney who to determine if there are any options available to you.

You cannot be deported for having a baby but you can be deported for being here illegally. Speak with an immigration attorney regarding whether there is any way you can obtain a legal status.
