Re: DWI 2nd Offense Immigration Questions
It is possible to be placed in removal/deportation proceedings for a crime of moral turpitude. On a misdemeanor offense, it is unlikely. On a second offense where the penalty may be more than a year, deportation is possible but not likely.
It is far more likely that the ticket delays any ability to seek naturalization for a five year period.
