There are many reasons that can lead to deportation, and one of them is committing a crime. Even immigrants with green cards can get deported if there is evidence that they committed a crime. However, not all crimes will lead to deportation. The Miami immigration attorneys at Revilla Law Firm, P.A. have put together the crimes that can cause deportation.

Aggravated Felony
Aggravated felonies are another category of crimes that can cause deportation. We have put together a list of some examples of aggravated felonies:

Other Crimes
If an immigrant has a long list of crimes and gets deported and returns to the United States, it can lead to serious consequences. Even if a person is let back into the country, any new crime can result in another deportation. Immigrants deported due to criminal charges may become “inadmissible.” This means that they won’t be allowed back in the United States under any circumstances.
