WHAT IS CRIMMIGRATION?
This is a term of art used to describe legal services provided to our non-U.S. citizen clients who may face deportation or “removal”, following the closure of their criminal cases. Such representation includes but is not limited to political asylum, voluntary departure, or “cancellation of removal”. In some cases, “stipulated deportation” may save clients a lengthy prison sentence. It is an ever changing and evolving practice of law, as legislative changes direct different law enforcement agencies, such as I.C.E, (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), under the auspices of Homeland security, to place ICE holds on our criminal clients who are not US citizens.
