Criminal Charges & Deportation Risk for Non‑Citizens — How Joseph M. Horn, Esq. Can Help
Criminal Charges & Deportation Risk for Non‑Citizens
New Trump-era Policies Intensify Immigration Consequences
In 2025, the Trump administration significantly expanded ICE enforcement—empowering agents to target non-citizens for any criminal or traffic charge. ICE arrests of individuals without criminal records have surged by over 800%, with one in four detainees now non-criminal—a dramatic policy shift from prior years.
Even minor offenses—traffic violations, misdemeanors—can now trigger deportation, detention, or jeopardize your green card, work permit, or future immigration status. ICE has also begun arresting people at check-in points and courthouses—sometimes immediately after court hearings—further narrowing safe zones for immigrants with legal status.
A Criminal Charge Isn’t Just a Criminal Charge
For non-citizens, an arrest is no longer a slap on the wrist—it can initiate fast-track removal proceedings or prompt detention without bond. This heightened enforcement disproportionately affects people with minor or traffic offenses who previously lived and worked in the U.S. without fear .
