You have to plead with the country you're in. Or apply for one of the emergency slots the week you have to leave (pretty difficult at the moment given the flight schedules). Or yano, deportation / imprisonment... There's not many good solutions in this case and it is very difficult to match a reservation spot with an airline ticket out.

> deportation isn't this what you'd want? deported back to your country? It's not like you could be denied entry at the airport, and deported back to the foreign country...

  Maybe they'd just leave you in prison until NZ is ready to take you back.

  Deportation usually comes with long lasting restrictions on travel to the country you are getting kicked from. Hopefully, USCIS/ICE will use their brains in situations like this.

  With deportation you're probably going to spend a few days in prision until they can sort you a flight out. Then as other commenters have mentioned, it's going to have some long lasting consequences. It will make a lot of the countries in the world require you to get a visa before entering (or even transiting), as in apply for a visa, spend 3-4 months dealing with embassies and spending a decent amount of money while you explain what happened and potentially be denied anyway.

You can come to Australia, as another option. I think the borders are open for NZers who can get a 444 visa (but don't take my word for it, double check with the government before booking a ticket).
