What is a “withholding of removal”?
A “withholding of removal” is a form of relief from removal offered to certain individuals in the state of Florida and other states. It is available to people who have come to the United States and are facing deportation. The purpose of withholding of removal is to provide immigration protection to those individuals who meet certain requirements. In order to be eligible for withholding of removal, an individual must be able to demonstrate a fear of persecution in their home country based on their race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group. The individual must also provide evidence to support their claim that they would be subjected to persecution if they returned to their home country. If an individual is granted a withholding of removal, this means that they are not allowed to be removed from the United States. However, they do not receive the same legal status that individuals with asylum do. A withholding of removal can only be granted by an Immigration Judge and is not a form of permanent relief from deportation. Individuals granted a withholding of removal may still be subject to certain restrictions and must remain in the country unless they receive different legal status.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.Una “retención de remoción” es un tipo de protección migratoria que se le ofrece a un solicitante de asilo para que no sea devuelto a su país de origen si hay razones para creer que hay un riesgo de persecución. Esta protección se otorga mediante una Orden de Retención emitida por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos. Esta Orden de Retención prohíbe que el solicitante sea devuelto a su país de origen a menos que el gobierno considere que los riesgos de persecución para el solicitante han disminuido. Estas órdenes se implements en todos los estados, incluyendo Florida. Uno de los principales benefios de la retención de remoción es que el individuo no estará sujeto a consecuencias criminales por el hecho de haber ingresado ilegalmente o por haber permanecido ilegalmente en los Estados Unidos. Asimismo, la persona tendrá derecho a trabajar y recibir beneficios sociales. Sin embargo, también hay algunas desventajas. La persona no podrá solicitar una residencia permanente, así como tampoco podrá visitar su país de origen y volver a entrar legítimamente. Además, el solicitante no será elegible para la nacionalidad y los beneficios fiscales, como el crédito tributario por hijos.
