In Chaidez v. United States, ___ U.S.___, ___ S.Ct.___, 2013 WL 610201 (Feb. 20, 2013), the court stated:

All 10 federal appellate courts to consider the question decided, in the words of one, that counsel's failure to inform a defendant of the collateral consequences of a guilty plea is never a violation of the Sixth Amendment. Santos-Sanchez v. United States, 548 F.3d 327, 334 (C.A.5 2008).FN7 That constitutional guarantee, another typical decision expounded, assures an accused of effective assistance of counsel in criminal prosecutions ; accordingly, advice about matters like deportation, which are not a part of or enmeshed in the criminal proceeding,'' does not fall within the Amendment's scope. United States v. George, 869 F.2d 333, 337 (C.A.7 1989). Appellate courts in almost 30 States agreed.FN8 By contrast, only two state courts held that an attorney could violate the Sixth Amendment by failing to inform a client about deportation risks or other collateral consequences of a guilty plea.FN9

(Chaidez, supra, at ___.)
