Summary

The law mandates that judges tell any non‑U.S. citizen defendant that a conviction could lead to deportation, denial of entry, or loss of naturalization eligibility. If the warning isn’t given, the defendant can move to vacate the plea, except for pleas entered before Jan. 1, 2026, where the rule isn’t retroactive. The change aims to ensure fairness for immigrant defendants.
