Jose Padilla Born in Honduras Immigrated to America Became Permanent Resident Charged with Trafficking Marijuana
Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356
Office of the Ohio Public Defender www.opd.ohio.gov
Padilla’s Holding
Immigration consequences are “enmeshed” in the criminal process. “Deportation is an integral part— indeed, sometimes the most important part—of the penalty that may be imposed on noncitizen defendants who plead guilty to specified crimes.”
Office of the Ohio Public Defender www.opd.ohio.gov
Ask all clients about citizenship Advise about immigration consequences Negotiate according to client’s priorities
