My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
My Ex-boyfriend was arrested and charged with simple battery which is a misdemeanor, over the weekend. He is not a legal citizen which means he is an illegal alien. He is being held with an ICE hold.
My question is how if I am the victim is there a way to get the charges dropped. and also in the state of california do they typically deport on misdemeanors.
Also I have had many people tell me that the state of california doesnt typically do that. Please if anyone knows just let me know so I can stop freaking out. he is the father of my son. and I really cannot afford for him to be deported because of my stupidity.
