What is an Arrest Warrant?

An arrest warrant is a court order that authorizes law enforcement agents to arrest an individual suspected of committing a crime. Specifically, in the context of immigration law in Alabama, an arrest warrant may be issued for a person who is subject to deportation. The warrant authorizes law enforcement to arrest the individual and take him or her into custody. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) grants a federal immigration judge the power to issue an arrest warrant for someone who has been charged with violating immigration laws. The warrant is issued in order to ensure that the offender appears in court, so he or she can face a trial on the charges. The arrest warrant includes the name of the individual, the crime for which they are charged, and the date and location of the hearing. In some cases, a state court may issue an arrest warrant for an individual who is subject to deportation. Such a warrant typically follows a criminal trial, where the defendant has been found guilty of a crime and is facing deportation as a consequence. The state court issues the arrest warrant to ensure the defendant is detained and kept in custody until the deportation proceedings can begin. In most cases, an arrest warrant issued by an immigration judge has nationwide validity, meaning it can be used to take the individual into custody wherever he or she may be found in the U.S., even if they have already left Alabama. The warrant is then used to transport the defendant to the hearing location.

Una orden de arresto es un documento emitido por un juez judicial con el fin de autorizar a las fuerzas del orden a arrestar y detener a un sospechoso de haber cometido un delito. La policía debe actuar de acuerdo con esta orden y debe presentarla al sospechoso junto con una explicación del motivo de su allanamiento. En el Estado de Alabama, el proceso de obtener una orden de arresto varía según el delito que se investigue. La policía puede emitir una orden de arresto en caso de que una persona haya sido acusada de cometer un delito menor, pero si una persona es acusada de un delito más grave, el juez tiene que emitir la orden. Las órdenes de arresto se pueden emitir en casos relacionados con la inmigración en Alabama. Cuando una persona está en Estados Unidos ilegalmente o es acusada de violar la ley de inmigración, el Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE) puede emitir una orden de arresto contra ellos. Esto significa que el agente del ICE tendrá el derecho de detener y o detener al sospechoso hasta que sean procesados por un tribunal federal de inmigración. Esta orden de arresto también es conocida como una Orden de Detención de Inmigración.
