Undocumented Immigrants and DUI

Facing a DUI as an Immigrant? Your Future Could Be at Risk — Let Us Help You Protect It

If you are an undocumented immigrant and you’ve been charged with DUI, your situation is extremely serious. A DUI conviction may not only impact your criminal record — it could also place you at risk of deportation, immigration detention, or denial of future legal status. At DWI Team, we offer strong, confidential legal defense for immigrants with DUI concerns, including those who are undocumented or in uncertain immigration situations.

What Happens If an Illegal Immigrant Gets a DUI?

Being arrested for DUI as an undocumented immigrant can trigger both criminal and immigration consequences. You may face:

• Criminal prosecution for driving under the influence
• Immigration holds or ICE involvement
• Deportation proceedings (even without a conviction)
• Ineligibility for immigration relief (like asylum or adjustment of status)

Can an Illegal Immigrant Get Deported for a DUI?

Yes — under U.S. immigration law, a DUI charge can lead to deportation, especially if it’s accompanied by:

• Aggravating factors (e.g., injury, children in the vehicle)
• Prior criminal history
• Driving without a license or insurance
• Felony DUI or repeat offenses

While not every DUI automatically results in removal, it greatly increases your risk — particularly if you are undocumented.
