What are the “grounds for asylum”?
The “grounds for asylum” refer to the specific legal conditions under which a person can seek protection in North Dakota under immigration law. Federal law provides several grounds for asylum, including persecution by the government, membership in a particular social group, to avoid removal to a country in which they are likely to be persecuted, and if an alien is unable to or refuses to avail themselves of the protection of their home country. Persecution by a government can include general persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. To be eligible for asylum, individuals must prove that they have been persecuted due to one or more of these reasons and have a genuine fear of persecution in their home country. The “membership in a particular social group” category for asylum is often used when a person’s persecution is due to their gender, sexual orientation, or other characteristics that they cannot change about themselves. For those individuals who are unable or unwilling to avail themselves of the protection of their own country, they may be eligible to receive “withholding of removal” to avoid removal to the country in which they are likely to be persecuted. Finally, individuals with fears of torture may be eligible for asylum if the torture is likely to be inflicted by the government, or by a person or group that the government was unable or unwilling to control. Overall, it is important to understand the different grounds for asylum in North Dakota to determine if an individual is eligible for protection from deportation.
