(A)  In General.  To determine whether a finding of juvenile delinquency may disqualify a minor from relief before the DHS or immigration courts, it is necessary to examine the specific form of relief in question.  See generally § 15.47, Chapter 24, infra.

 

                Two forms of relief that may be barred by an adjudication of delinquency in immigration court are the Family Unity Program and Adjustment of Status.
