bench warrants and inmigration

[siomi]

well my friend had a court hearin but he forgot the date so he endeed up going a day after... he didnt make another court appointment so now he has a bench warrant.. he is not a legal resident in the u.s. My question is will he get deported if he gets arrested.. or if he makes an appointment to the court can they give him a chance of staying in the country? (he did his community service and everythin)... the detectives that came to the house told me to tell him to make an appointment to go to court or else they would come get him(arrest him).... If he shows up in court what will happen? will he get deported?

A state court cannot grant someone legal residence just like they cannot order someone deported.

Your "friend" needs to take care of the warrant. He eventually will get caught, and if the detectives feel like it all they need to do is call up the local ICE office after they arrest him if they feel that he should be considered for deportation.
