What is a Motion to Dismiss?

A Motion to Dismiss is a legal request made by an individual or their attorney when contesting a deportation order in Oregon. A Motion to Dismiss requests that the judge presiding over a deportation hearing dismiss the case. The Motion must state the specific reasons why the deportation case should be dismissed and is generally made on the grounds that the respondent has a valid claim to remain in the United States. This could include having a valid, long-term visa, or marriage to a United States citizen. The Motion also must include evidence supporting the case for remaining in the United States. The Motion must be submitted in writing to the judge. The judge will then review the motion and the evidence with both parties present in court. If the judge decides that there is not sufficient evidence to support the Motion, the deportation proceedings will continue and the respondent will have an opportunity to present their case. If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence for a Motion to Dismiss, the deportation proceedings will be terminated and no deportation order will be issued. Motions to Dismiss can be an effective way for individuals facing deportation to protect their right to remain in the United States. By having a valid claim to remain in the United States and presenting evidence in court, the respondent may be able to persuade the judge to dismiss their case and remain in the United States.

Una moción de desestimación es una solicitud presentada por un abogado en una corte estatal o federal para poner fin a un caso. En el contexto de la Ley de Inmigración, una moción de desestimación es presentada para tratar de impedir que la persona inmigrante sea deportada. Esta moción solicita que se desestime la orden del gobierno de deportar a la persona inmigrante. En Oregon, un abogado de inmigración puede presentar una moción de desestimación para tratar de detener la deportación de un inmigrante antes de que se inicie el proceso de deportación. Si una moción de desestimación se concede, la orden de deportación de la persona inmigrante se cancela y se puede beneficiar de los beneficios de inmigración. Sin embargo, una moción de desestimación no siempre se concede. Si el juez decide que la moción de desestimación no se justifica, la deportación del inmigrante podría seguir adelante. Por lo tanto, es importante discutir cualquier moción de desestimación con un profesional de inmigración calificado para determinar si hay posibilidades de éxito.
