The hearings could result in him being deported to his native Italy after he completes his federal prison sentence in 2019.
This comes two years into his 41-month prison sentence for fraud.
Giudice moved from Italy to the U.S. as a child. He is a legal permanent resident, but he never became a citizen.

His lawyer says no decision has been made regarding deportation.
When he concludes his federal prison sentence in March 2019, the federal government is expected to ask a judge to remove him from the country.
