Step 1
On his release, can Trevor be deported to his country of origin?
Answer
Yes, as deportation can occur after serving a sentence of one year or more.
According to immigration law, individuals who are non-citizens and have served time in prison may be subject to deportation. Trevor's two-year sentence qualifies him under this law. Deportation is typically determined by federal authorities rather than state courts, allowing for actions to be taken post-sentencing regardless of the specific court's decision.
