What happens if I refuse to leave the United States?

If you refuse to leave the United States after being issued a deportation order in South Carolina, you could face serious consequences. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), it is a crime to fail to leave the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from an immigration judge. You could be arrested and prosecuted, leading to fines or jail time. Additionally, if you have been ordered deported, leaving the U.S. on your own within a certain time period may be the only way you can return legally in the future. If you fail to leave the U.S. after receiving a deportation order, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may try to locate and arrest you. You could be taken into custody and taken to a detention center to await deportation. Once arrested, you could be barred from returning to the U.S. for a certain number of years. Your refusal to leave could also jeopardize your chance at applying for a visa or other immigration benefits in the future. It is important to keep in mind that if you are facing deportation, consulting a qualified immigration lawyer could be in your best interest. They can help you understand your rights and potential options for staying in the U.S., including the possibility of applying for asylum, a stay of removal, or other forms of relief from deportation.

Si una persona se niega a abandonar los Estados Unidos, hay ciertas consecuencias legales. Esto se conoce como el incumplimiento de una orden de deportación. La deportación se refiere a una persona no ciudadana que es expulsada de los Estados Unidos de manera involuntaria. En Carolina del Sur, si una persona se niega a abandonar los Estados Unidos cuando la ley de inmigración lo requiere, pueden aplicarse multas significativas. Además, el no cumplimiento de una orden de deportación puede tener repercusiones penales, como un cargo criminal. Esto significa que la persona en cuestión podría enfrentar la posibilidad de un arresto y una sentencia de prisión. Además, el incumplimiento de una orden de deportación conlleva también la aplicación de una orden de detención. Esta orden es emitida por el Servicio de Inmigración y Aduanas ( ICE, por sus siglas en inglés). Esta orden significa que el inmigrante en cuestión es encarcelado mientras aguarda su devolución a su país de origen. Es importante tener en cuenta que, aunque una persona se niegue a abandonar los Estados Unidos, siempre existe la oportunidad de realizar un recurso legal. Por lo tanto, es importante que acuda a un experto en leyes de inmigración para obtener la mejor asistencia posible.
