Florida Immigration Attorney Magdalena Cuprys
wins withholding of removal for Client who may be persecuted if returned to
Colombia
Colombian entered the U.S. as stowaway, Immigration Court granted
withholding of removal after remand from the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
Miami, FL (August 2018) The law firm of
Cuprys and Associates announced today that immigration Lawyer Magdalena Cuprys won
a “withholding of removal” (client will not be deported) in Immigration Court
after a convoluted legal struggle.
Mr. C.M. is a 25-year-old Colombian citizen
who entered the U.S. as a stowaway, and later filed an application for Asylum.
All of C.M.’s applications for relief were denied by an immigration judge in
August 2016. C.M. appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which
remanded the case to the Immigration Court to clarify and reconsider its prior
findings.
The Immigration Court found that C.M. had a
credible fear of persecution if he were returned (deported) to Colombia. At the
new hearing in Immigration Court, C.M. testified that three of his brothers
were killed by a guerilla group, as well as two of his cousins. He himself was
abducted and threatened.
Based on that testimony, the Immigration
Judge denied C.M.’s asylum request, but granted withholding of deportation. As
the Court noted, for a grant of withholding of removal, he must establish that
his life or freedom would be threatened on account of race, religion,
nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
C.M., who is black, testified that he may be persecuted in Colombia based on
his race. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not present any evidence
to the contrary. The Immigration Court thus granted the relief that C.M.’s
deportation will be withheld.
Ms. Cuprys expressed her satisfaction when
receiving the court decision. “C.M. and his family have suffered greatly.
Several young family members were killed, and C.M. himself was abducted but
luckily was able to escape. We are happy that C.M. can remain safely in the
U.S. for the moment.”
The underlying case is “In the Matter of C…
