Withholding Removal Asylum: A Vital Immigration Lifeline

What Is Withholding of Removal-Asylum?

Withholding removal asylum is a protection in U.S. immigration laws where an individual cannot be deported from the U.S. to another country where their life or freedom would be threatened because of:

• Race
• Religion
• Nationality
• Membership in a particular social group
• Political opinion

The legislation is similar to asylum but has more stringent standards of eligibility and fewer benefits should the applicant find favor. For individuals who may not qualify for asylum, maybe because of missed filing deadlines or past criminal activities, withholding of removal serves as an alternate path to safety in the United States.

How Is It Different from Asylum?

Both asylum and withholding of removal are designed to protect persons from persecution; however, they differ several important ways:

To summarize, withholding removal asylum is often looked upon as a last bastion for those facing deportation still need protection since they fear life-threatening persecution.

Who Qualifies for Withholding of Removal?

The applicants must show that their return to the country of their origin would subject them to prospective persecution based on any one of the five grounds enumerated above. In addition, the applicant must not be:

• Convicted of a particularly serious crime
• A danger to the community
• Involved in persecution of others
• The national security risks
