What is removal/deportation?

Removal/deportation is a process where immigrants who are in the United States without proper legal permission are required to leave the country. In Washington, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may order a removal/deportation of an individual who is living in the state illegally. This can occur if the individual does not apply for Asylum or if they have violated their immigration status, such as committing a crime. When an individual is facing removal/deportation, it is important to know that they have to leave the United States within a certain period of time. The individual may be given a Notice to Appear, which includes the date and time of their court hearing. They may also have to submit a certain number of documents, such as proof of employment or a valid passport. If an individual is facing removal/deportation, they have the right to apply for Asylum, which is a legal form of protection from persecution in their home country. Applying for Asylum requires an individual to prove that they are at risk of being persecuted in their home country because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or other factors. If the individual is successful in their application, they will be granted protection from removal/deportation. While removal/deportation is a difficult process to go through, it is important for individuals in Washington to know their rights. Those facing removal/deportation should seek out legal advice from an immigration lawyer and seek asylum if they are eligible. Doing so may provide them with protection and the chance to remain in the United States.

Remoción/Deportación es el proceso por el cual una persona es forzada a salir de un país. Esto sucede cuando una persona entra al país de manera ilegal o cuando una persona es considerada una amenaza para la seguridad nacional de un país. Esto generalmente se lleva a cabo por autoridades federales, como ICE (Servicio de Inmigración y Aduanas) y no se puede apelar. En el estado de Washington, una persona puede ser deportada si ha violado las leyes migratorias. Esto puede incluir entrar al país ilegalmente o permanecer en el país después de expirar su visa. Esta persona, en este caso, también puede ser detenida por ICE y luego ser deportada. La evidencia necesaria para deportar a alguien puede variar, pero generalmente incluye documentación de su identidad, condición migratoria, historial criminal y otra información personal. En el caso de solicitantes de asilo, la ley de Washington puede impedir la deportación inmediata. Si una persona solicita asilo, se le dará una audiencia para determinar si califica para quedarse legalmente en el país. Las partes deben presentar argumentos en la audiencia para determinar si la persona puede ser eliminada o no. Si se determina que no pueden permanecer, serán deportados.
