What Removal Defense Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n

Removal defense is representation in immigration court when the government asks a judge to remove a non-citizen from the United States. Removal cases start with a notice to appear. That document lists the charges and the laws the government says you violated, according to 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People who need this help usually have one of three things in hand: a notice to appear, a hearing notice, or a removal order. Some are held in immigration detention. The law allows an alien to be arrested and detained, on a warrant issued by the Attorney General, while a decision on removal is pending, except as provided in subsection (c), under 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1226<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Relief is a different burden. You must show you are eligible for the benefit you request and that it should be granted as a matter of discretion. Common requests include:<\/p>\n
