Yes and no. Depends on the specific situation and where you are in the process.
If you are awaiting trial you would probably be in violation to leave the state much less the country.
If you are on parole, again your travel is normally restricted.
If you have served your time and are no longer on probation, the US will not prevent you from leaving and returning to the US. However, some countries will prevent you from entering. As an example, Canada will normally deny entry to anyone convicted of a felony. The end result is the same, you get turned around at the border. The difference is it was Canada that stopped you, not the US.

If you have already been convicted and served out your sentence, the US has no problem letting you go. Now, Mexico, on the other hand, may have an objection to hosting a felon -- you might want to check Mexican laws and procedures on that issue.
However, if you are under an indictment, or have been convicted but haven't yet served your sentence, then you cannot leave.

Hi, The law says in deportation for people who were born outside the US , In only some situations like TREASON, terrorist act, or being dischanrged from the army. anything else than that it can be resolved in the court I suggest that you take care of't asap. beczz they are ganna go after you go to the police dept. or station and get't over with instead of getting a warrant of arrest and then he will be arrest and crime so.. ? why do u wanna have both on u r record ? and then if u get arrest once more after 2 yrs it counts as aggrivated arrest means u can't take off u r record anymore, and if u do another crime within 7 yrs from the date that it was commited it will be aggrivated crime that can't be taken off u r record I hope that that i gave u a breif explanation regarding u r case. GOOD Luck and God Bless u.

No, they will take your passport from you. If your wanted for a crime I suggest that you better run now and see if you can go without a passport.

If they have already served his time, then yes.
If not then it is an additional charge of fleeing to avoid prosecution.
