Legal Immigrants May Get Deported from Pontiac MI

Some crimes carry deportation or removal as a possible punishment, even for people legally in Pontiac, MI.

However, even misdemeanor crimes of moral turpitude such as theft or fraud- those that show lack of justice, honesty, or good morals- may be grounds for deportation or removal. If you are facing deportation or removal, you can contest the proceedings.

Those who seek asylum in the United States, and those who have lived in the U.S. for more than 7 years may be able to stop being deported or removed. Often times, many cities and states have "safe harbor" laws that allow offenders not to be reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unless specifically compelled to by Federal law.
