Advice and Comments
Bad plea. Even without 1 year, assault with intent to rape might be treated as attempted rape, an AF regardless of sentence.
If 1 yr or more is required, see 459/460(a) (note that this will trigger mandatory detention if client has not been admitted) or (b) or 236/237; if that is not possible, see 243.4 or 207. If a strike is needed, one can plead to 136.1(b)(1) consecutive (with 8 months imposed) and avoid an AF.
SB54: Law enforcement is permitted to notify/transfer to ICE indefinitely. See SB 54 advisory at www.ilrc.org/crimes-summaries.
Mandatory Detention: People not admitted to U.S. are subject to MD if they are inadmissible for crimes, and people admitted to the U.S. are subject to MD if they are deportable for certain crimes. See advice on Mandatory Detention.
