There are plenty of instances of a defendant in a federal criminal proceeding simultaneously facing deportation as an illegal immigrant. The situation gets a bit more complicated when a federal criminal defendant is out free on bond when he is detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation proceedings. In\u00a0United States v. Veloz-Alonso<\/em>, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals addressed this issue and held that immigration officials were permitted to detain and deport a federal criminal defendant out on bail.<\/p>\n
The Interplay Between Deportation Proceedings and Federal Criminal Charges<\/h2>\n
Deportation Proceedings<\/p><\/div>\n
Section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act lists all of the reasons why an undocumented immigrant can be deported from the U.S. Some of those reasons include committing certain felony crimes, engaging in fraud or helping others to enter the U.S. illegally. In order for an immigration official to be able to legally detain and deport an undocumented immigrant, an immigration judge must first issue an order of removal. The undocumented immigrant will have the opportunity to be heard at an administrative immigration hearing and is entitled to an attorney. If the individual is prevented from entering the U.S. at the border, then there will not necessarily be an administrative hearing or deportation proceedings because they had not officially crossed the border.<\/p>\n
