The National Human Rights Commission advises immigrants in the United States on criminal situations and how to act.
In the event that a criminal charge is filed against you, the United States authorities are obliged to assign you a public defender, and if you do not have the money, they will have to absorb the cost. Remember that legal assistance allows you to make informed and appropriate decisions for your defense.
On the other hand, regardless of the immigration status of the person involved, the Mexican Consulate must provide legal assistance to Mexican migrants and determine that the procedures are being carried out correctly.
Criminal charges have harsh immigration consequences, if the defendant is guilty it can affect all their immigration processes such as citizenship, or permanent residence procedures. In addition, he can be deported and be barred from re-entering US territory.
For more information you can call the number 1 (855) 220 1829 from the United States or 800-201-1010 from Mexico. You can also get in touch by email via cndhcontigomigrante@cndh.org.mx
