Immigration Criminal Defense Philadelphia Lawyer

Given the nature of the political climate, non-citizens living in the United States are under microscopic observation. Now more than ever, when a non-citizen makes a mistake or commits a crime the government is ready to take action. For a citizen, a criminal conviction can result in probation, fines, or jail time. But for a non-citizen, being convicted of a crime can result in removal from the United States. Being removed from the country not only affects the individual being convicted, but it also makes a serious impact on that person’s family.
Whether a non-citizen convicted of a crime faces deportation proceedings depends on kind of offense of which the individual was convicted. The government looks at whether the offense can be characterized as an aggravated felony, or a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT). Analyzing this type of situation can be critical because these convictions can greatly change a non-citizen’s immigration status. It is important to remember that just because the Government is claiming an individual is removable, many times their strong defenses that must be argued that can potentially keep a non-citizen in the United States.
