What is an Arrest Warrant?

An arrest warrant is a legal document issued by a judge or other authorized government official that orders the arrest of a person suspected of committing a crime. In the state of New York, an arrest warrant can be issued for a variety of reasons, including failure to comply with immigration law or deportation orders. When an arrest warrant is issued, it allows law enforcement officers to take into custody anyone accused of a crime. This could include law enforcement officers from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) or local police officers. Typically, arrest warrants will specify details of the crime and the individual (or individuals) being sought. In the case of immigration law violations or deportation orders, a judge may issue an arrest warrant for anyone who has avoided complying with these laws or orders. Once an arrest warrant is issued, law enforcement officers in New York can take that individual into custody. This can mean detaining them in a local jail or transferring them directly to an ICE facility. Once in custody, an individual can appear before a judge and enter a plea, or may be subject to deportation proceedings.

Una orden judicial de arresto es un documento emitido por una corte de justicia autorizando a las fuerzas de la ley a arrestar a una persona. Esta orden se emite cuando existe evidencia suficiente para demostrar que la persona ha cometido un delito. En el caso de la Ley de Inmigración, una orden judicial de arresto también se puede emitir para arrestar a una persona ilegalmente en el territorio de Estados Unidos. En el estado de Nueva York, una orden judicial de arresto puede emitirse por no cumplir una orden de deportación. Si una persona ha sido deportada de los Estados Unidos antes, entonces las autoridades tienen el poder para emitir una orden de arresto con fines de deportación. Esta orden ordena a las fuerzas de la ley a arrestar al extranjero en cuestión inmediatamente y a llevarlo a un centro de detención para su posterior expulsión del país. Además, si un extranjero ha infringido cualquier ley de inmigración, pueden emitirse también órdenes judiciales de arresto para fines de deportación.
