What is removal/deportation?
Removal/deportation refers to the official process of forcing someone to leave the country against their will. This can occur when a non-citizen has violated immigration law in some way, such as overstaying their visa or otherwise breaking the law. In New Hampshire, deportation is carried out by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE agents may serve “notices to appear” which require immigrants to appear in court and answer criminal or civil charges. This often leads to the issuance of a “removal order” by the Immigration Judge. A removal order serves as a notice to leave the U.S. within a certain time period and may also remove any right to return. In some cases, those who have been served with a removal order can be eligible for relief from deportation, such as asylum. This requires filing a petition with the immigration court, and if approved, the individual may be allowed to remain in the country. Regardless of the situation, removal/deportation is a serious consequence for violating immigration law and should always be taken seriously. Depending on the situation, however, there may be possible options for those who are facing removal. It is important to speak to an immigration attorney for more information about the rights and options available in each individual case.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.La deportación o remoción es un término usado para describir la situación de una persona que es forzada o requiere ser devuelta a su país de origen por razones de inmigración. Esta situación puede darse de manera voluntaria o involuntaria. La deportación se produce cuando un extranjero, debido a faltas o restricciones de inmigración, es forzado a regresar a su país de origen. Normalmente, cuando una persona comete un delito, el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS) elimina su estatus de inmigrante o residente legal temporal e inicia los procedimientos para su remoción. En el estado de New Hampshire, todos los casos de remoción son tratados por la Oficina de Aplicación de la Ley de Inmigración (ICE). Ellos determinarán si una persona debe ser removida y si se aplica la excepción de asilo. Si se concede la petición de asilo, la persona podrá permanecer en el país de manera legal. Si la petición de asilo es rechazada, entonces ICE emitirá una orden de deportación a la persona.
