What is an Administrative Removal Order?

An Administrative Removal Order (ARO) is an order issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deport a foreign national from the United States. An ARO has the same effect as a judicial deportation order, meaning the individual must leave the country immediately. In Arizona, an ARO is issued if an individual lacks proper legal status in the United States. The DHS can also issue an ARO if an individual is deemed to be a threat to public safety or national security, or if the individual is knowingly involved in illegal activities. When an ARO is issued, the individual must immediately depart the country or be subject to criminal penalties, undermining of their legal status, or other negative consequences. They will also be required to pay a fee in order to cover the costs of their removal. The individual must also agree to certain restrictions in order to remain in the United States, such as reporting to DHS-designated removal locations or avoiding contact with certain people. In Arizona, an ARO is issued by the DHS Office of Field Operations. Individuals who receive an ARO can petition for review or to reopen their case. Additionally, if they are a refugee or a person of special humanitarian concern (PSHC), they can appeal their ARO to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIS). However, if their appeal is denied, they must leave the U.S. immediately.

Una Orden de Remoción Administrativa es un proceso de deportación en Arizona que se lleva a cabo cuando el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) determina que un inmigrante sin documentos es elegible para ser removido de Estados Unidos con base en la ley federal. En la mayoría de los casos, los inmigrantes que buscan entrar al país son considerados inadmisibles o no elegibles para un estatus de residencia. Estas personas son entonces sujetas a una Orden de Remoción Administrativa. La Orden de Remoción Administrativa (ORA) es emitida por el DHS y está dirigida a la persona no documentada, indicando su obligación de dejar el país en un plazo determinado. El plazo para salir del país puede variar de uno a seis meses, dependiendo de la situación. Si la persona no sale del país dentro del plazo asignado, su nombre se agregará a la lista de “acusados de frontera de deportación” y será objeto de reenvío inmediato a su país. Bajo la ley federal, los inmigrantes que son sujetos a una Orden de Remoción Administrativa tienen el derecho a presentar un caso de apelación ante un juez de inmigración. Esta apelación debe presentarse dentro de los 30 días siguientes a la emisión de la Orden de Remoción Administrativa. Si la apelación es exitosa, el DHS puede revocar la Orden de Remoción Administrativa y permitir que el individuo permanezca en el país.
