What is the primary purpose of a Warrant of Removal?

The primary purpose of a Warrant of Removal is to facilitate the removal of unlawfully present individuals. This type of warrant is typically issued by immigration authorities or law enforcement agencies to deport individuals who do not have the legal right to remain in a country. The warrant serves as an official order, allowing the authorities to carry out the removal process in accordance with immigration laws and procedures.

This process is distinct from enforcing property seizure or creating records of criminal activity, as those functions pertain to different areas of law enforcement, such as criminal law or civil asset forfeiture. Additionally, while a warrant could theoretically allow someone to leave a jurisdiction, its primary intent is not for voluntary departure but for the enforcement of immigration laws and ensuring compliance with legal status regulations.
