If my mom is being deported for a crime, are there steps I can take to bring her back?

If your mother is still in the US, I strongly suggest that you encourage your mother to consult with an experienced immigration attorney. First, not all crimes are deportable offenses, and even if your mother's alleged conviction is for a deportable offense, she may be eligible for a waiver. Further, with the assistance of a good attorney, your mother may be able to return to the criminal court to vacate her criminal conviction on grounds. A vacated conviction no longer serves as a basis for her deportation.

Since she was convicted, there is really not much you can do. This is a most serious charge.. one that is not tolerated in the States.

you should consult with an experienced immigration lawyer. It is too complicated to answer your questions here.

It appears as if your mother was convicted of attempted manufacturing of a controlled substance. If that is correct and she is being deported as an aggravated felon, as defined by immigration laws, she will be banned for life from returning to the United States.

If your mother gets deported, it is very unlikely that she will come back any time soon. Her best chance is in trying to vacate the criminal conviction, and then reverse the deportation order. She needs an immigration attorney who would try to stop her deportation, and a criminal attorney who would know how to reopen her criminal case. Whatever can be done needs to be done very fast, before the deportation order gets executed.
