Mims, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If you have not had prior convictions, you cannot be deported if you have the green card unless you are first criminally convicted or plead guilty, and then go to the immigration court and are ordered removed by an immigration judge. If you lose your case before the immigration court, you have the right to appeal before the Board of Immigration Appeals. During all this period of time, you may be picked up by ICE and detained, but would not be able to be deported unless under the above circumstances except if you waive your rights and agree to removal.
