'Raushalten' (to stay/keep out) is a separable verb. The prefix 'raus-' goes at the end in a main clause. In subordinate clauses and in the infinitive with 'zu', the verb stays together.
Ich halte mich aus diesem Streit komplett raus.
I am staying completely out of this argument.
The verb 'raushalten' (to stay/keep out) is used mainly in spoken language. The prefix 'raus' is a shortened form of 'heraus'. The more formal variant would be 'sich heraushalten' (to stay out).
Politik? Da halte ich mich lieber raus.

In the meaning 'sich nicht einmischen' (not to get involved), the verb is reflexive ('sich raushalten'). The matter one stays out of is connected with the preposition 'aus' and the dative.
Halte dich bitte aus meinen Problemen raus!
Please stay out of my problems!
When you keep a person or thing away from something, the structure is: 'jemanden/etwas aus etwas (Dativ) raushalten' (to keep someone/something out of something). The accusative object is the person/thing that is meant to be protected.
Bitte halte den Hund aus der Küche raus.
Please keep the dog out of the kitchen.
