It is a certainty that people in the past have been and will continue to be deported for convictions involving misdemeanor charges. Being drunk in public would not be a deportable offense. Probation violations and the offenses for which probation was originally given may be germane to the question of whether a person is deportable.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

Probably not, but the question doesn't turn on any distinction between misdemeanors and felonies under state law.
