Immigration Consequences of Criminal Convictions: What Prosecutors Need to Know

In this episode, NIWAP Deputy Director, Rocio Molina, immigration attorney, Cora Tekach, and staff attorney for Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorney Services Council, Elliot Casey discuss criminal convictions for offenses of domestic and sexual violence for immigrant perpetrators. They discuss the impact of immigration status and conviction on potential deportations, and the importance of factual and legal analysis in determining the outcome of removal proceedings. They talk about the due process rights of immigrants; what constitutes conviction under immigration law and what is a crime of moral turpitude and what is good moral character in the context of immigration law. The podcast cautions against making assumptions based on facts alone and to seek specialist advice in a matter involving immigration law.
