Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Possible Deportation

My boyfriend has been convicted of a felony, and is incarcerated.He is an illegal ''alien'' and he has an immigration hold. I found out about this when I called the Los Angeles County Jail to check on his location status. Does having an immigration hold mean that for sure he will be deported to his native country of Mexico or not?

Re: Possible Deportation

Unfortunately you have not provided enough facts for an answer. There are several things that needed here, such as when and how he entered US, how old was he at the time when he came to US, what kind of crime was he convicted of, what is his prior criminal record, whether he has US citizen or resident relatives, etc.

You (he) will need a detailed consultation with an attorney who handles immigration-criminal matters in order to assess your (his) options.

Good luck,
