Illinois False Document Crime Lawyer · Chicago Federal Immigration Crime Attorney

The federal government typically files federal criminal charges against two types of violators of immigration laws. The first type of offender is an illegal immigrant who has been convicted of a crime in the United States and then deported, but who later returns to the U.S. This person is charged with illegal re-entry. Prosecutors typically seek a substantial prison sentence, rather than simply re-deporting the illegal immigrant. In addition, the more serious the crime for which the person was deported, the harsher the penalty will be for a conviction for illegal re-entry.

The second of type of offender federal prosecutors charge is individuals or groups caught manufacturing and selling false documents, including selling fake driver's licenses, social security cards and visa cards. In cases where the government adds RICO charges because an organized ring is involved, sentences can be extremely harsh, even if the individual charged plays only a minor role in the activity.
