The DUI Deportation Act (H.R. 875)
Congress has introduced the DUI Deportation Act (H.R. 875). This new law will make any and all DUI convictions—past, present, or future—grounds for automatic deportation and possible detention.
What this means in real terms:
👉 Automatic Deportation: Any DUI on your record will trigger removal from the United States.
👉 Detention Without Bond: You may be held in immigration custody while your case is processed.
👉 Lifetime Ban: Deportation under this law will permanently bar you from ever returning to the U.S.
Why This Impacts Everyone
This bill will affect our entire community—directly or indirectly.
👉 Non-citizens: Whether you are undocumented, on a visa, or a green card holder, a DUI will put your future in the U.S. at immediate risk.
👉 Naturalized Citizens: Even those who have already become citizens could face challenges if past DUIs are questioned in naturalization or passport renewal reviews.
👉 Families & Employers: When one family member or worker is deported, the entire household and community feel the loss.

The Hidden Risk of DUI Convictions
Many people still believe a DUI is “just a traffic matter.” It’s not. With this new law:
👉 A single conviction is now a ticket to deportation.
👉 Old DUIs from years ago can resurface and put you in danger.
👉 Even “minor” DUIs with no accident or injury still count.
What You Must Do Now
The best defense against the DUI Deportation Act is to act immediately.
Often, the solution is to revisit past DUI convictions and determine whether they can be cleared, reduced, or reclassified under California law. By addressing your record before this law takes full effect, you may protect yourself and your family from devastating immigration consequences.

👉 Any past DUI conviction

Exceptions exist. If you’ve experienced trauma, illness, or changed country conditions, we may still be able to file.
Can I work while my case is pending?
You can apply for a work permit 150 days after submitting your asylum application, and receive it after 180 days if there are no delays.
