Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

need help Immigration and felony charge

I was recently charged with felony for copyright. I am now on probation. the other day my probation officer and ICE came to my house. Luckily i was not home. Now they have called me to go visit them early. I think they will turn me in to immigration. Is it good idea to hide until i reopen my case for the copyright and try to remove the felony. I have filed for i30 petiton under my dad he is a US citizen.

On what grounds are you going to reopen and reverse the felony? Did your attorney at the plea/trial know that you did not have legal status at the time? Hiding will solve nothing, as in order to proceed on the criminal case and the immigration case, you have to make an appearance, then you will be detained. If you do not have a lawyer, get one today.
