Can an Asylum Case Stop Removal or an Immigration Arrest?

Many people believe that being in an asylum process means absolute protection, but the reality is somewhat more complex. Although an asylum case allows you to remain in the United States under legal protection, that protection is not unlimited.

With recent changes to immigration policy, even individuals with no criminal history and a pending asylum case could, in very specific situations such as an immigration raid, be detained and processed by immigration authorities. This is not common, but it is important to understand the risk and what could happen.

The good news is that, in most cases, if the person has no criminal record and entered the country legally, options such as bond or a custody redetermination exist to allow the process to continue while released.

Every immigration situation is different.
