What is a Withholding of Deportation?

In Virginia, Withholding of Deportation is a type of immigration relief available to immigrants that do not meet the strict requirements for asylum. It is designed to protect foreign-born individuals who are facing potential persecution in their home or native countries. The protection provided by Withholding of Deportation prevents the government from removing an individual from the United States based on the fear of persecution in their home country. Under Withholding of Deportation, the government agrees not to deport an individual if they can demonstrate a “clear probability” of being persecuted in their home country for one of five reasons: based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. If an individual can show that they meet these requirements, then the government will keep them in the United States and not deport them. Withholding of Deportation is not a permanent form of protection. It is only available for a certain period of time, and can be subject to termination. The government can end an individual’s Withholding of Deportation if there is a material change in the conditions of their home country that make it safe for them to return. In this case, the government can remove the individual and deport them. Withholding of Deportation is an important type of immigration relief for individuals facing potential persecution abroad. It provides individuals with protection from deportation and allows them to remain in the United States until their situation changes.
