There are many terms for drunk driving. Some states refer to it as Driving Under the Influence (DUI), some use the name Driving While Impaired/Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), and other states use Operating While Intoxicated (OWI). No matter what term your jurisdiction uses, any form of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other mind-altering/impairing drugs is illegal and may have enormous consequences for those who are caught.

QUESTION: My dad became a naturalized citizen in the 90’s. He was picked up yesterday for DUI. This isn’t the first DUI he has had, and I was told by a few friends that they can take away his US citizenship and deport him after a certain number of DUI. Is this true? ANSWER: For DUI committed after naturalization, no. Also, a naturalized US citizen will most likely NOT be deported for a crime committed after he was naturalized, unless the naturalized citizen obtained their status through fraud, or have.
