Assuming you are not a U.S. citizen, deportation after your DUI in Riverside may very well depend on your legal status. If you are completely undocumented, an Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold may be placed on you at the time of arrest, and you very well could be deported if ICE follows through and picks you up at the local jail and formal deportation proceedings are initiated. If you have any other level of legal status, it is much less likely that you will be deported for a first time DUI. However, if you have multiple DUIs or if you injured somebody while driving under the influence, the risk of deportation certainly rises. This type of question really needs to be analyzed on a case by case basis to determine the best course of action.
