What Should You Do if You're Arrested and Are Not a U.S. Citizen?
Being arrested as a non-U.S. citizen can be an overwhelming and frightening experience, with significant implications for your immigration status. If you find yourself in this situation, it’s crucial to take immediate and strategic steps to protect your rights and future.
First and foremost, remain calm and avoid making any statements to the police without an attorney present. Anything you say can be used against you in both criminal and immigration proceedings. Politely inform the authorities that you wish to exercise your right to remain silent until you have legal representation.
It’s essential to contact a criminal defense lawyer who understands the intersection of criminal law and immigration. Not all attorneys are equipped to handle the unique challenges faced by non-citizens, so choosing the right lawyer is critical. A knowledgeable attorney can help you navigate the complexities of your case, from challenging the criminal charges to mitigating potential immigration consequences.
If you’re detained by immigration authorities, your attorney can also assist with bond hearings, where they will argue for your release while your case is pending. Time is of the essence in these situations, as prolonged detention can lead to unnecessary stress and complications in your defense strategy.
Additionally, avoid signing any documents or agreeing to a plea deal without fully understanding the implications for your immigration status. Certain criminal convictions can lead to deportation or render you ineligible for future immigration benefits. Your attorney will evaluate the risks and work to achieve the best possible outcome for both your criminal and immigration cases.

What Are The Consequences Of Misdemeanor And Felony Charges In Georgia?
In the case of a misdemeanor, you may be facing up to a year in jail and/or fines, probation or other penalties, such as community service, house arrest, anger management programs, substance abuse programs, restitution to victims and more.
In the case of a felony, you may be facing a prison term of more than a year as well as heavy fines.
In either case, a conviction will result in a permanent criminal record that can be detrimental to future opportunities. Criminal records are accessible through routine background checks, which means that they are available to future landlords, employers and loan agencies. A criminal record can also affect your professional license and make it difficult to obtain a new one in the future. Lastly, if you are not a citizen, you may face immigration consequences for certain criminal convictions as well.
