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.

Many long-term immigrants believe years in the U.S. protect them from ICE detention, but that is not always true. This guide explains when ICE can detain someone, why time alone is not legal status, what risks increase enforcement, and what rights and legal options may help families fight detention.

A past criminal conviction can threaten an immigrant’s ability to stay in the U.S. or obtain legal status. California Penal Code §1473.7 allows eligible non-citizens to vacate certain old convictions that carry immigration consequences. This blog explains who qualifies, how the process works, and how vacating a conviction can protect your immigration future.

Recent reports reveal that some immigrants are being detained by ICE during or after USCIS interviews, even in marriage-based cases. This article explains why this is happening, who may be at risk, what rights applicants have, and how legal preparation and an experienced immigration attorney can help protect you and your family.
