You May Be Deported from Gloucester MA

Even if you are a legal U.S. immigrant, certain crimes may impose a possible deportation or removal punishment for offenses in Gloucester, MA.

Violent felonies and drug charges are regularly grounds for removal. 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.

Individuals who are in the United States for over 7 years or have reasons to seek asylum in the United States may be able to prevent being deported or removed.
