What will happen if you ignore a deportation order?

Initially nothing will happen, but soon the defendant will have a warrant and if they ever get into trouble pulled over or finger printed they will be incarcerated. The length of time their in jail depends on why the order of deportation was issued to begin with but generally its 3 months but in serious cases it can be up to 10 yrs. Please also be aware if you're married the spouse becomes an accessory depending on the state of residence and how critical your judge is.
