If a family member has been charged with 13 counts of grand theft and 2 counts of identity theft, will he be deported?
They had no prior criminal record and have lived in the US for 29 years, however they never had a green card. What are the chances he will be deported after pleading guilty after his sentence in court?

Most likely the answer is that he will be held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials when they are alerted to his arrest by the DA regardless of his conviction or acquittal on the charges. I would consider hiring a criminal and immigration attorney here.
