if my boyfriend was almost killed in his country can he get asylum even know he's in jail for illegal entry twice

If your boyfriend has the probability of being persecuted in the home country, he may be able to stay here in the country even though he may have had a prior order of removal. When DHS attempts to reinstate the prior order of removal, he can still make an application for withholding of removal or withholding under the Convention against Torture in which he will have the burden of proof of showing that it is more likely than not that he would be persecuted. The immigration judge in most instances withholds action on the case while DHS sets up a reasonable fear interview. Assuming that he passes that, he would have his day in court to apply for withholding of removal.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.
