can i apply for protection after i signed the removed paper?

Answered 7 years and 8 months ago by attorney Alan Lee, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
Although your giving birth to a baby girl in Saipan makes her a US citizen by birth, it ordinarily does not give you the right to protection to stay based on the birth of the child. This is now a touchy subject because of the wide publicity being given to those attempting to enter the US with their children either illegally or at a border point to seek asylum who were separated by the Trump policy of zero tolerance. Neither parents nor children had legal status, and the Administration separated them to prosecute and keep the parent in detention and make them more amenable to immediate deportation in hopes of ending the separation. Given the difference in your case that your child is a US citizen and the huge unfavorable publicity over the issue of child – parent separation, I do not see that happening to you. Unless you waived your right to a hearing before the immigration court, you would likely be released until the date of your court hearing. At that time, you could make any claims that could allow you to remain in the US. I again note that it is  ordinarily not a recognizable claim to request protection because your child was born a US citizen.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
