Your credit and deportation are completely different. Additionally, if you are a US citizen, you cannot be deported.

Anything can happen! I'm afraid that your questions have very little to do with immigration laws. But I am sure that they will not be deported together with you. Of course, the first strategy is try not to be deported.

Deportation/removal does not discharge your credit/loan obligations in any way. Yes, a family member can continue to reduce the obligation until satisfied so that your credit worthiness is not affected with each individual lender and with credit reporting agencies.

You remain liable for the debts and non-payment will affect your US credit and may even affect your credit in other countries if the reporting agencies share information. If you designate someone to pay on your behalf they can do so if you're unable to pay from abroad. It may be wise to consider a Limited Power of Attorney to handle such situations.
