What happens after a border conviction?
<p>This recent <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/06/21/trumps-zero-tolerance-border-prosecutions-led-time-served-and-10-fee/722237002/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Article Here</a> raises the question of what happens after a US border conviction. </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>On Monday, (6-18-18) agents brought a Honduran man, Mariano Torres-Perdomo, into court to face a misdemeanor charge of entering the country illegally. Border agents had caught him two days earlier crossing into Texas with his 6-year-old son. He quickly pleaded guilty...(he) was sentenced to time served and a $10 fee.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Presumably, he was turned over for deportation processing. So, after pleading guilty, would Torres-Perdomo have further judicial or administrative hearings before being physically removed to his home country?</p>

<p>The reason I wonder, is because the BCP and DHS seem to be suggesting that detentions prior to removal may take weeks or months.  </p>

<p>The article actually raises a lot of other questions, but I'd like to focus on this first.</p>

<p>I'm not sure that this should be in Law SE or Politics SE, as it might have a home in either or both- feel free to migrate to Politics</p>

<p>No. All that would have to be done is for DHS to arrange transportation to his home country from the USA. The guilty plea would consent to deportation without further hearing.</p>

<p>I think that this is in cases where there is not a guilty plea, for example, where an asylum claim is made by the person detained.</p>
