Asked on Apr 04th, 2017 on Immigration - New Jersey
More details to this question:
In New Jersey got a "driving with telephone" ticket and have mandatory court appearance. I do have a valid driver's license but no social security number. Will my legal status be brought up in court? Could I be deported over this? I have never even gotten a speeding ticket in the past 14 years.
No one can predict with any great certainty what will happen now that Donald Trump is president. He has emboldened ICE to even hang around courthouses in the hopes of catching undocumented immigrants. That being said, ICE usually has a concern with the individual previously when it does that. As New Jersey is not a red state, the chance of you having a problem appearing on a traffic ticket in New Jersey is very low if you have not had prior encounters with Immigration.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.
