Immigration Status and Criminal Convictions (Crimes of Moral Turpitude)

In California, certain criminal convictions can have serious immigration consequences for non-citizens, especially offenses classified as crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMTs). These offenses often include crimes involving fraud, theft, domestic violence, or intent to harm another person. A conviction for a crime of moral turpitude may lead to deportation, denial of re-entry into the United States, loss of lawful permanent resident status, or problems obtaining citizenship. Even misdemeanor convictions and plea deals can trigger immigration consequences under federal law. Because immigration and criminal law frequently overlap, non-citizens facing criminal charges in California should work with a defense attorney who understands both criminal defense strategies and immigration-related consequences before accepting any plea agreement.
