When Legal Immigrants are Convicted of Crimes

When asked if a legal immigration would be subjected to deportation after being investigated upon imprisonment. I answered that Without more information and specifics about the crimes of which he is convicted, I could not tell whether he would qualify for a bond or whether he would be subject to mandatory detention.

I would also need more information to advise a person to whether the man in question qualifies to fight his deportation. Generally, if he is a lawful permanent resident and this is the first time he had been placed in removal proceedings he would maybe qualify for cancellation of removal, but he has to have been in the U.S. for 7 years after a lawful admission, must have been a permanent resident for 5 years and must not have an aggravated felony on his record.
