i was recently arrested for shoplifting charges and i dont know why the police officer asked me for my immigration status, i did not know that me answering that question would put me at risk
do you think the police officers usually do this to deport people? or is it kind of normal for them to ask someone arrested about their citizenship status? should i be very worried about this?how do i know if they already filed for my deportation? or can they file even before my court date?
i'm so worried my court date is not until 2 weeks and i've talked to a criminal defense attorney already who is planning on getting me an ACD, as I've read an ACD in NY does not constitute a conviction unless I plea guilty or admit the charges/facts, so I'll be very careful on that but it also says if the judge still has reasons to believe I'm guilty they could write that down on the records which may make my ACD turn into a conviction no matter what
