Frequently Asked Questions On Illegal Reentry

Legal representation is essential, considering the complexity and severity of illegal reentry charges. Our immigration attorney can assess the case’s specific details and explore potential defenses. Here are the frequently asked questions on illegal reentry into the U.S.:

What is illegal reentry under U.S. law?

Under U.S. law, illegal reentry is the act of returning to the United States without authorization after being previously deported or removed. It is governed by Section 1326 of Title 8 of the United States Code (8 U.S.C. 1326).

So, if you have been officially removed from the country and return without proper authorization, you’re committing illegal reentry.

What are the penalties for illegal reentry under 8 U.S.C. 1326?

Under 8 U.S.C. 1326, the penalties for illegal reentry vary based on factors like prior criminal history and the circumstances of reentry.

Generally, a first-time offender might face up to two years in federal prison, while those with prior felony convictions or other aggravating factors could face up to 20 years in prison. Additionally, fines may apply, and deportation could follow after the prison sentence is complete.

What are the consequences of a conviction for illegal reentry beyond prison time?

Beyond immediate imprisonment and potential fines, a conviction for illegal reentry can have lasting effects. It may impact immigration status, making obtaining legal status or applying for citizenship more challenging.

Also, it could result in a permanent bar on reentering the U.S., leading to family separation and limiting opportunities for employment or education.

What should I do if I or a loved one has been charged with illegal reentry?

If you or a loved one is facing charges of illegal reentry, it is crucial to seek legal counsel. An experienced immigration attorney can

  • Evaluate the case
  • Explore defenses
  • Navigate complexities within immigration law
