Particularly Serious Crime” Bars on Asylum and Withholding of Removal: Legal Standards and Sample Case Law Determinations
"This resource is meant to assist in the legal representation of (1) noncitizens in criminal proceedings facing a criminal charge that, upon conviction, could bar asylum or withholding of removal and (2) non-citizens with a past criminal conviction seeking such fear-based relief in immigration proceedings.
This resource was first published by IDP in 1998. The current version of the chart has been updated through May 2024 by Wesley Neal, Linh Tang, and intern Alexis Farmer of the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program (HIRCP) under the supervision of Assistant Clinical Professor of Law Philip L. Torrey. IDP Senior Counsel Manuel D. Vargas directed this project. This resource is not meant to replace independent legal advice provided by an attorney familiar with a client’s case. It should thus be relied upon only as a first step to further individualized legal research and fact investigation."
