The Arizona Supreme Court amended the rules of criminal procedure to require judges to advise criminal defendants that their pleas may have immigration consequences.  Arizona Rules of Court, rule 17.2(f)(2004). The court rejected an express provision requiring the court to vacate a conviction on grounds that the court failed to comply with the rule, but the new rule leaves open the possibility that a violation may give grounds to vacate, and at least avoided an explicit provision saying noncompliance is not a basis on which to vacate the conviction. The new rule provides that before taking a plea, the court "shall address the defendant personally in open court, informing him or her of and determining that he or she understands the following: . . . f. That if he or she is not a citizen of the United States, the plea may have immigration consequences. Specifically, the court shall state, 'If you are not a citizen of the United States, pleading guilty or no contest to a crime may affect your immigration status. Admitting guilt may result in deportation even if the charge is later dismissed. Your plea or admission of guilt could result in your deportation or removal, could prevent you from ever being able to get legal status in the United States, or could prevent you from becoming a United States citizen.' The court shall also give the advisement in this section prior to any admission of facts sufficient to warrant finding of guilt, or prior to any submission on the record. The defendant shall not be required to disclose his or her legal status in the United States to the court." Order Amending Rule 17.2, Rules of Criminal Procedure, Arizona Supreme Court No. R-03-0025 (June 8, 2004).
