Every day, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) devotes more resources to arresting and deporting immigrants (aka aliens) with criminal records and convictions. Some immigrants with criminal convictions (including some crimes involving moral turpitude) have defenses to deportation/removal. Others, such as those convicted of aggravated felonies, have little or no relief, except protection under the convention against torture. Even "green card holders" (lawful permament residents) can be deported for criminal convictions. See a recent Boston Globe article about 111 arrests of "criminal aliens" in New England.
If you are an immigrant and have criminanl convictions or arrests, our attorneys can review your record and help you understand whether you are deportable/removable, and if so, what if any defenses to deportation you may have.
