Sounds like you might be best off going to trial, and not pleading guity, if in fact you are innocent, and a guity plea could lead to your deportation.

Run your case by the following immigration attorney, and see what he advises:

Sounds like an awful situation, but a VERY defendable case. As you know, if you plead guilty, you will likely be deported. Please call me to discuss.
