What is the Automatic Stay of Deportation?

An Automatic Stay of Deportation is a legal mandate that prevents federal immigration authorities from deporting a person while their case remains pending in the courts. In Arizona, the Automatic Stay of Deportation is an important tool for those facing deportation for unlawful presence in the United States. The Automatic Stay of Deportation remains in effect until a judge decides the merits of the individual’s case. Obtaining an Automatic Stay of Deportation can be complex. It requires that the immigrant show that they are facing a “credible fear” of persecution or torture if they are deported to their home country. The potential for “irreparable harm” is also a factor that has to be taken into account when determining eligibility for the automatic stay. The Automatic Stay of Deportation is available for immigrants in Arizona and throughout the United States who meet the eligibility requirements. The stay prevents immigration authorities from deporting the person while their case is pending, giving them the opportunity to stay in the country for a longer period of time. It also gives the immigrant the chance to make their case to a court and to have their deportation proceedings evaluated on their merits. The Automatic Stay of Deportation is an important tool for those facing deportation in Arizona and other places in the United States. It is important to remember, however, that the stay is temporary and that it does not guarantee the immigrant’s wish to stay in the United States. Ultimately, the immigration authorities have the final say in the matter.

La Estancia Automática de Deportación es una orden del juez en la que se prohíbe a las autoridades de inmigración el procesamiento de su deportación. Esta orden también se conoce como “estancia temporal” y se otorga al presentar una solicitud de asilo o de ajuste de estatus. La Estancia Automática de Deportación está disponible para los extranjeros presentes en Arizona al momento de su detención por inmigración. El objetivo de la orden es evitar que los solicitantes de asilo sean deportados antes de que un tribunal de inmigración los haya evaluado. Se dice que una Estancia Automática de Deportación permanece en efecto hasta que el tribunal de inmigración acepte la solicitud y otorgue la protección de la ley de inmigración. Después de eso, el tribunal puede extender la Estancia Automática de Deportación en función de la situación durante su ajuste de estatus. Sin embargo, es importante entender que la Estancia Automática de Deportación no es una forma de legalización para los inmigrantes. Es solo un mecanismo temporal para prevenir la deportación mientras el tribunal estudia su caso.
