Crimmigration Law– What is it? 

Crimmigration law is where criminal law and immigration law collide.  In today’s political climate, where things are changing frequently it can be incredibly confusing for immigrants who are arrested or charged with a criminal offense.

Criminal allegations and convictions can have devastating consequences for non-US citizens, often resulting in the loss of jobs, visa cancelation and deportation. It can also cause problems when reentering the USA even if the criminal allegation was fully dismissed.

A single misdemeanor can now trigger:

1.        Removal proceedings (Deportation)

2.        Revocation of visas

3.        Denial of citizenship or green card

4.        Inedibility for TPS, DACA, asylum

What should you do If you are charged with a criminal offense?

Having a good criminal defense attorney is not enough anymore.

It is important to hire a crimmigration lawyer who understands both criminal law in your State and immigration law.
