Question Presented (from Petition)

1. When a resident alien pleads guilty to a crime,
while ignorant of the immigration consequences, then
discovers those consequences and demands a trial
before sentencing, while the state remains prepared
to try the case, does his demand for a then-deliverable
jury trial establish a reasonable probability that he
would have opted for trial had he known the consequences when he pled guilty?

2. Does the opinion on remand so significantly disregard facts and logic that it denies the Petitioner his
right to due process of law in violation of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the United States Constitution?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

When a resident alien pleads guilty to a crime while ignorant of the immigration consequences, then demands a trial before sentencing, does his demand establish a reasonable probability he would have opted for trial if he knew the consequences?
