3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals: Immigrant's Abuse Claims Need Further Review
The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a Dominican national's abuse claims need further review. The court must determine if deportation can be canceled under federal law. The court considered the case of a Dominican national who filed a motion to terminate his removal proceedings based on abuse he suffered. The immigrant argued that his removal could be canceled under federal law, which protects immigrants from abuse.
Federal Law and Immigrant Abuse
Federal law protects immigrants from abuse by lawful permanent residents or citizens. The law gives immigrants the right to file a motion to terminate their removal proceedings if they have been abused.
What to Do
Immigrants who have been abused should seek help from a qualified attorney. The attorney can help the immigrant prepare a motion to terminate their removal proceedings and represent their interests in court. References:
