Legal Immigrants May Get Deported from Westchester IL
Some crimes carry deportation or removal as a possible punishment, even for people legally in Westchester, IL.
In most situations, immigrants are deported for violent felonies as well as drug charges. However, there is a growing trend that even minor offenses can be grounds for deportation if the crimes involved moral turpitude.
If you have resided in the U.S. for over 7 years, or if you are seeking asylum in the country, you may be able to avoid deportation or removal.
