No License
Since 2008, the legislature in Georgia increased penalties for people driving without a valid license, or having a suspended or revoked driver’s license. The offender must serve 48 hours in jail and pay at least a $500.00 fine. Illegal immigrants stopped for routine traffic violations are now arrested for having no valid driver’s license. There is an expected increase in the number of immigrants sent by Gwinnett County to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation. It is crucial to speak with an immigration attorney for legal assistance in such cases.
