Following the court decision, Joe's attorney told People;

The news comes days after Joe's deportation was postponed, which Giudice was granted at the end of April 2019.
Both Joe and his wife Teresa were indicted in 2013 over hiding their properties in a bankruptcy filing. Joe was also found guilty of not paying tax returns between 2004 and 2008. Teresa served 11 months in state prison, and Joe served 41 months in prison for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud.

Since his release, his family has been pleading with President Donald Trump to pardon Joe and spare his deportation back to Italy. The President and the White House press team is yet to comment on the case.
In America, immigrants can be deported if they are convicted of "a crime" or an "aggravate felony." Although Joe has been living in America since his childhood, he never obtained American citizenship.
Joe and Teresa share four children; daughters Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana. Lately, the family has been awaiting their fate in western Pennsylvania that houses immigration detainees.
