What is a Motion to Suppress?

A Motion to Suppress is a legal action that is used to challenge the evidence used in a criminal case. This is done by arguing that the evidence was obtained unlawfully. In the case of immigration law, a Motion to Suppress can be used to challenge evidence used in a deportation case by arguing that the evidence was obtained in violation of constitutional rights or immigration law. This type of motion is seen as a powerful tool to prevent deportation or other serious immigration consequences. In Arizona, a Motion to Suppress must be filed in the court where the case is taking place. The motion must state why the evidence was obtained unlawfully and must be supported by evidence. This can include affidavits, expert testimony, or other evidence that can support the argument. After the motion is filed, a hearing will be held where the court will decide whether or not to grant the motion and suppress the evidence. If the court grants the motion to suppress, then the evidence used in the deportation case will be inadmissible and the charges could be dismissed. This could be a powerful defense in a deportation case. It is important to note that this motion is complex and requires knowledge of constitutional laws and immigration laws. If you or a loved one is facing deportation, it is important to consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can determine if a Motion to Suppress is the right course of action.

Una moción para suprimir es una moción legal presentada al tribunal por una persona acusada de un delito en el que se solicita que el tribunal no considere determinadas evidencias o apelaciones. Esto significa que, de acuerdo con lo establecido en la legislación de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, toda evidencia obtenida ilegalmente o por medio de prácticas abusivas, no puede ser presentada en un juicio. Esto también significa que cualquier testimonio obtenido ilegalmente o de forma fraudulenta no se considerará en un juicio. En el estado de Arizona, los tribunales permiten a los acusados solicitar una moción para suprimir. Esto solo debe presentarse en un tribunal de depuración de deportación ya que una decisión de deportación debe determinarse con base en pruebas legales. Si una moción para suprimir se aprueba, el tribunal no tendrá en cuenta las evidencias o testimonio de la acusación, lo que significa que no pueden usarse para determinar el destino de una persona. Esto es un beneficio importante para los inmigrantes, ya que permite que los tribunales puedan escuchar todas las partes afectadas antes de llegar a una decisión final.
