Illegally In The U.S. and Arrested

[sujey3]

I WAS ARRESTED ON FEBRUARY 2 FOR SHOPLIFTING. THE POLICE OFFICER TOLD ME THAT THE ARE NOT GONNA SEND ME TO JAIL BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST TIME. HE TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO GO TO COURT AND THEY ARE GONNA GIVE ME A TICKET. DO YOU THINK THAT THEY CAN DEPORT ME BECAUSE I AM ILLEGAL?

It isn't outside the realm of possibility, assuming your unlawful status is detected. You may wish to consult an immigration lawyer.
