Criminal Immigration Law is a relatively new concept and describes the overlapping area between criminal law and immigration law. It is not a secret that criminal convictions can set off deportation. Are you aware that immigration status of a defendant can trigger an immigration hold that may lead to interfere with critical criminal sentences such as drug or alcohol treatment, release on probation or parole?

Anyone with even the most basic legal knowledge knows that criminal convictions can sabotage immigration proceedings and even cause mandatory deportation, mandatory detention, and disqualification from eligibility for relief from removal in immigration proceedings. In Padilla v. Kentucky, 130 S.Ct. 1473, the United States Supreme Court acknowledged that “deportation is nevertheless intimately related to the criminal process.” Therefore it is extremely important that the immigration lawyer you choose should not only be well versed in criminal law but also have superior understanding and expertise in Criminal Immigration Law.
