My son is 15 and he is charged with pitty felony and drug possesion. He has been a legal resident for about 5 years now. Will he be deported?

Hello,   Although your son is a minor, a drug conviction can have serious negative consequences on his immigration status, and there is a risk of deportation when a person with legal permanent residency has a drug conviction. In view of this, it is important that you contact an experienced immigration lawyer in your local city for advice specific to your son's case before the case is completed in the criminal courts. Good Luck. Disclaimer: This information is of a general nature and is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for advice regarding your individual situation.
