IF a resident alien is being wrongfully accused for committing fraud in their native country and if there is an order of arrest, can the resident alien be deported although they have lived here in the US for more than 25 years?

Dear Inquirer:

The US will only deport a person if they have been convicted of certain crimes. That said, the US may allow the extradition of the subject of a warrant, which is not a deportation, depending on the native country and whether a treaty exists to authorize extradition.

I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

This matter is complex and you should not try to do it yourself so you should get an attorney to discuss your options. If you are located in Southern California, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.

Unfortunately, if he already has his green card, you cannot revoke it. It may only be taken away by the Immigration if he committed certain crimes or series of crimes.
