Yes, you can get deported. Please do not plead guilty. See an Immigration Attorney Immediately and get advice to decide what you can plead to .................Perhaps a lesser charge if necessary. It depends on the exact statute that you are being charged with as well as your other immigration history (when you received your green card and other info). If you have a criminal attorney make sure he gets the advice of a immigration attorney before he agrees to any plea agreement. Most of my case are people being deported because they did not get advice on the Immigration attorney before a plea agreement or going to trial.

Good Luck
