Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

i was arrested for domestic violence. They released me the next day and took my passport so i wouldn't leave the country while the case was going on. I have overstayed on a visa waiver program -- i do not have a crime record -- what his the probability ICE will deport me and would they have done it already? Would they show up in court or at my home or mail me a letter? ...and why would they take my passport?

If you are here on the visa waiver program, you are not entitled to immigration court proceedings. If ICE picks you up you will be put into detention and then on the next flight out of the country.

You will definitely be placed in deportation proceedings (because you have violated the conditions of the visa waiver program) and will most likely receive a letter.
