What happens if I refuse to leave the United States?

If you are in the United States and you refuse to leave, you may be subject to deportation proceedings. According to Washington law, any non-citizen living in the United States may be subject to deportation if they have committed any criminal act, have failed to abide by the conditions of their visa, or have overstayed their visa in the United States. If the government has initiated deportation proceedings against you, you may be required to appear before an immigration judge at a hearing. During this hearing, the judge will review your case and consider any evidence you present to argue against your deportation. This may include evidence of your ties to the United States, any family members you may have living in the U.S., or any other compelling circumstances you may be able to present. If, after reviewing your case, the immigration judge decides that you should be deported, you will be ordered to leave the country. If you refuse to comply with the judge’s order, you may be arrested and detained. You may also be issued an order of removal from the United States. In some cases, you may be able to appeal your deportation order in an appeals court. However, the appeals process is often time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, it is important to consider all of your options before deciding to refuse to leave the United States.

Si se rehúsa a salir del territorio estadounidense, uno se enfrenta a la deportación. Esto significa que el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos ordenará que sea removido del país. Una persona que haya sido removida de los Estados Unidos no podrá volver a ingresar a menos que obtenga un visado especial. En el estado de Washington, la ley sobre Inmigración le da al gobierno el poder de deportar a los extranjeros si no cumplen con los requisitos de inmigración. Esto significa que el gobierno puede sacar al extranjero del país si se niega a salir. Si un agente de Inmigración lo detiene, es posible que le ofrezca la opción de renunciar voluntariamente a la solicitud de visado. Si se niega a hacerlo, es posible que los agentes de inmigración soliciten una orden para deportarlo. La deportación puede tener consecuencias importantes, incluyendo el castigo de prisión. Además de esto, el individuo será responsable de pagar los costos de la deportación. Además, una vez deportado, es posible que el individuo no tenga permitido volver a ingresar a los Estados Unidos.
