Fighting Deportarion
Deportation can tear apart families, separating parents from children, husbands from wives, and sibling from each other. It’s wrong to assume there is nothing you can do to fight deportation related to a criminal conviction.
Deportation charges can be fought by prevailing in court with an argument that a prior conviction should be viewed at a lower offense level;
Asylum can be obtained for someone facing political, religious or ethnic persecution in their homeland;
Even after a person is determined to be deportable, deportation relief can be obtained with a deportation cancellation if certain residency and/or hardship requirements are met;
A criminal record can be expunged in certain cases, qualifying an immigrant for a waiver allowing them to keep their Green Card.
