A friend has been offered a plea agreement of Calif. PC 236 misdemeanor conviction of false imprisonment. He is being offered less than a year jail with 3 years of formal probation. This crime carries a sentence of one year or less. Can you be deported for this conviction? Is this too close to Domestic Violence conviction?

It is usually a CIMT (moral turpitude). It MAY be a "crime of violence" or "domestic violence". It can be deportable.

False imprisonment as in he falsely accused someone innocent of committing a crime and had them locked up or arrested?
It refers to unlawful restraint and usually is in the context of a domestic situation........... He cited the legal code section, look it up.
