    No, the courts do not deport you for this, in fact unless your local police are certified and trained and have gotten written permission for the INS, they can't even detain you for being illegal. ( stupid federal laws)

    Illegals go into court, even get jail time and then are just released, seldom held for INS. So most likely you will get probation and a fine to pay.
