POTENTIAL GROUNDS FOR DEPORTATION

If you’re not a U.S. citizen, you can be removed (deported) if you violate federal immigration laws.
Under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a), common grounds include:

• Criminal Convictions
  Crimes like drug possession, theft, fraud, or certain aggravated felonies can make you deportable immediately.
• Violation of Immigration Status
  Overstaying your visa or failing to comply with visa terms is a serious issue, and ICE takes this seriously.
• Fraud or Misrepresentation
  Providing false documents, or misleading government agencies, can trigger deportation proceedings.
• Security or Terrorism-Related Violations
  Any association with terrorism, espionage, or related security threats may result in deportation.

When you receive a Notice to Appear (NTA) from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the stakes are high and you cannot underestimate this. You need a Bronx deportation defense lawyer who understands the law – and can fight for you – because judges will not hesitate to deport you.

CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS AND IMMIGRATION CONSEQUENCES

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), many crimes carry harsh immigration penalties – automatically.
Some examples include of criminal convictions that can have immigration consequences include, but are not limited to:

1. Aggravated Felonies
   Murder, rape, sexual abuse of a minor, and certain whit collar financial crimes fall under this umbrella. Conviction can result in mandatory detention and expedited deportation.
2. Crimes of Moral Turpitude
   Fraud, theft, and certain assault offenses can also fall in this category, leading to serious immigration consequences.
3. Controlled Substance Offenses
   Drug possession or trafficking charges can also make you deportable.
4. Domestic Violence
   Certain domestic violence convictions can also to removal proceedings.

YOU NEED A STRONG DEFENSE STRATEGY

Regardless of the charges filed against you, our deportation defense lawyers can help you. Our law firm focuses on winning cases that other lawyers may consider unwinnable, and that they’ll turn down. We analyze every angle of the evidence, looking for ways to challenge the government’s case:

1. Challenging the Evidence
   If ICE or other agencies broke the law while gathering evidence or violated your rights, we can seek dismissal of the deportation proceedings.
2. Motion to Suppress
   If your arrest or search was unconstitutional, any evidence illegally obtained may be inadmissible.
3. Prosecutorial Discretion
   We can negotiate with the prosecutor or ICE counsel to have your removal case closed or deferred, if there are compelling humanitarian factors.
4. Waivers and Relief
   Certain forms of relief, like Cancellation of Removal under INA § 240A, or asylum, could help you remain in the U.S.
