Evading arrest is a possible charge that may be brought. You need an immigration attorney and a criminal defense attorney to help you. Some counties will put you in jail if you are convicted of evading arrest and then the corrections department can hold you for ICE to get you.

If they caught you then you can be charged with resisting and obstructing the police.

You can be charged with fleeing and alluding a police officer which is a very serious offense. You should engage an attorney and see whether or not you have any defense. If not, use the attorney to determine whether or not some form of reduced charge or is available.
