加州大学戴维斯分校移民法诊所律师J.J.穆利根表示，如果美国移民有刑事定罪，可能会被取消永久居民身份。穆利根说，并非所有等待遣返的外国人都被拘留，但某些毒品相关罪行确实会触发强制拘留。
If a U.S. immigrant has a criminal conviction, they can have their permanent resident status revoked, said J.J. Mulligan, a staff lawyer at University of California Davis’s immigration law clinic. Not all foreign nationals due for removal are held in custody, said Mulligan, but some drug-related offences do trigger mandatory detention.

他说，在美国，无证或被拘留的加拿大人很少，但那些被监禁的人，获得医疗服务的机会因设施而异。
There are very few Canadians undocumented or held in immigration detention in the U.S., he continued, but for those behind bars, access to health care varies from facility to facility.

“在美国，政策通常是威慑性的，”穆利根说。“当你拘留一个人或当某人入境美国时，你会尽可能让过程变得艰难、糟糕和困难，以此让更多人不想来。”
“In the U.S., the policy is generally deterrent,” Mulligan said. “When you are detaining someone or when someone enters the U.S., you try to make it as hard, as ugly and as difficult you can, so that more people don’t want to come.”

• deterrent：adj. 威慑性的

• detaining someone：拘留某人
