What is the Automatic Stay of Deportation?
The Automatic Stay of Deportation is a form of protection offered to a non-U.S. citizen who is currently facing deportation proceedings. In Louisiana, this Automatic Stay grants the non-citizen a period of time where they cannot be deported from the U.S. before the court or immigration officer has a chance to make a decision on the case. This is done to ensure that the laws of the country, as well as due process, are respected, and that the rights of the non-citizen are upheld. In the case of immigration, the Automatic Stay of Deportation gives the non-citizen the time to present any case for staying in the country, either through legal representation or through self-representation. This includes the possibility of presenting a case for asylum or for any other form of legal protection. For those who have an ongoing family or community support system in the U.S., this period of protection can be invaluable. At the same time, the Automatic Stay of Deportation is not a permanent solution, as a decision must be made on the case. In most cases the stay will be in place until the decision is made. However, if the case is considered a low priority to the department of immigration, the stay may be lifted at anytime. Therefore, it is important for the non-citizen to take any and all steps necessary to ensure that their case is taken seriously and that due process of law is respected.
THELAW.TV ofrece respuestas en español a todas las preguntas sobre la ley de inmigración.La Estancia Automática de Deportación es una ley que protege a algunos inmigrantes de ser deportados de inmediato. Esto ocurre cuando un inmigrante recibe una orden de deportación. Una vez recibida la orden, la Estancia Automática entra en vigencia y los agentes de inmigración tienen que detenerse temporalmente antes de proceder con la deportación. La Estancia Automática de Deportación se aplica a algunos inmigrantes y puede variar de un estado a otro. Por ejemplo, en el estado de Luisiana, los inmigrantes pueden ser elegibles para la Estancia Automática si hay una posibilidad real de que sea ilegal deponer al inmigrante y el inmigrante tiene una causa de acción válida para defenderse de la deportación. La Estancia Automática también se aplica si el inmigrante es elegible para algún programa de inmigración como la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA). La Estancia Automática de Deportación brinda una oportunidad a los inmigrantes para presentar una defensa contra la deportación. Esta estancia no impide la deportación permanentemente, sin embargo, ofrece una oportunidad para presentar una defensa al juez de inmigración. Si el inmigrante no recibe la Estancia Automática, no tiene ninguna oportunidad para presentar una defensa y sería deportado inmediatamente.
