Withholding Of Removal

Our client is a Cuban National who was placed in removal proceedings due to a conviction for possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance (drugs). Because of this conviction, our client did not qualify for political asylum. Although he was issued a parole when he entered the United States in 1980, his parole was revoked in 1994. We obtained a new indefinate parole for him and represented him in removal proceedings. After filing an application for withholding of removal and a long hearing, the Immigration Judge granted his application. As a result, our client cannot be deported or removed to Cuba even if he is on the “secret list” of Cubans who can actually be physcially deported to Cuba.
