A criminal charge can have consequences reaching beyond the current charge. It can effect a person’s future ability to become a citizen or even enter the county legally again. This week we will have Immigration Specialist Heather Poole discuss immigration consequences when someone has a criminal charge. She will explain why no jail time is not always the best thing. How even though certain crimes in California are not considered aggravated felonies, they can be under Federal Immigration law, which makes a person ineligible to remain or return to the United States. So what happens if you have already plea or been convicted of a crime?
