"... individual faces deportation ..."

Is there a "grace period" or is an immediate deportation? (Obviously, I have not personally dealt with these issues so any information is greatly appreciated.)

Apparently, there is a process to qualify for a grace period (if the loss of employment can be anticipated in advance) but if a H1B worker is terminated, they face immediate deportation under the law.

There is a grace period of (I think) 14 days if your visa expires. There is no legally defined grace period if you are fired before your visa expires.
