Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia
My fianc� was arrested for malicious wounding and then ICE put a hold on him. The case was dismissed and then ICE turned him over to Federal Jail and charging him for re-entry. If he pleads guilty he may serve 5-8 yrs and if doesn't plead guilty he may serve more. What can we do? We understand he is guilty but hoping for less time so INS can take him and deport him.

Perhaps, his lawyer representing him on the federal charge can negotiate a plea bargain involving less time on the illegal re-entry charge in return for your fiance's agreement to a voluntary departure(deportation) from the United States.
