Crimigration

Crimigration refers to the intersection of immigration law and criminal law, where criminal activities impact a person's immigration status. For instance, if a non-citizen commits a crime, it can lead to arrest, deportation, or denial of legal residency. This concept highlights how immigration enforcement can be influenced by criminal charges and how criminal convictions can affect an individual's ability to remain in the country. Essentially, it's the legal overlap where actions in one domain (criminal) affect a person's rights and status in the other (immigration).
