Criminal Convictions and Deportation: What Every Immigrant Needs to Know
Even a seemingly minor criminal conviction can have serious immigration consequences. Non-citizens in the U.S. may face detention, denial of immigration benefits, or deportation based on past or current criminal cases.
This guide explains what can make a crime “deportable” or “inadmissible,” which common California charges raise immigration concerns, and what legal options may still exist to protect your future in the United States.
At The Law Office of Daniel S. Castaneda, APC, we focus on the intersection of criminal and immigration law—often called “crimmigration.” We help clients understand the real risks before a plea is entered and fight back when a conviction threatens their status.
