Immigration Options for Victims of Crimes

Many immigrants are fearful of admitting that they have been a victim of a crime, in part because they believe they will be removed (deported) from the United States if they report the crime. U.S. law provides several protections for legal and undocumented immigrants who have been victims of a crime. There are specific protections for victims of domestic violence, victims of certain crimes, and victims of human trafficking.
