Permanent Resident on the Run and Needs
A friend of mine has been a permanent resident every since he was 12 years old and he is now 28. In 2008, he was released from the FDC on cancellation of removal. In 2009, he got arrested and charged with possession of marijuana. After being told by the PA that ICE was going to put a hold on him again, he ran! He has 4 children in the U.S that need his support, what can he do to fix is life so that he can be with his children? Can his green card be revoked?:confused:

There's an excellent chance that he'll be deported and subject to a ban.
He has, basically, shown that he has no respect at all for US laws. Going on the run was THE worst thing he could've done.
Re: Permanent Resident on the Run and Needs
Thanks for your input! Thats what i told him but he wants to fight it because he ran because he was scared! I have explained to him a numerous amount of times before this whole ordeal happened that he needed to drop the marijuana habit but some people just don't listen! do you know if there has been an update on immigration laws?
Re: Permanent Resident on the Run and Needs
I was scared is not a defense. Tell him to pack his bags. He can leave, get a job in his home country and support his children. They can visit him there. You can potentially face charges for harboring a fugitive.
Re: Permanent Resident on the Run and Needs
I'll be honest, it's your family not mine but, I don't think it's wise to have a criminal, incapable of following the laws around your family. I am not versed in international law, I do know that it may be possible to get court ordered child support form him even in another country but I don't know how it's done. This is one of the issues that I talk about greatly pertaining to illegal immigration, the way that families are broken and destroyed by the actions of the adults who illegally enter the United States. Another option may be that you could possibly become a citizen of his country of origin if he were to turn himself in and allow himself to be deported.
