¿Te preocupa la deportación?

An expungement at a State or Federal level is a process by which a record of criminal conviction is destroyed or sealed from. However, the Department of Homeland Security, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) states if a non-U.S. citizen is convicted of A DUI or  any charge, immigration will have access to all their data, even their previous data that might have been expunged. This may result in

  1. Being deported from the United States, or
  2. It may prevent you from being re-admitted to the United States if you leave voluntarily, or
  3. It may prevent you from ever becoming a naturalized American citizen.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and being charged with a crime, I would strongly advise you to speak to an immigration attorney before you accept any plea.  If you have an attorney already, ask him or her what the immigration consequences are for any plea or conviction.
