Joe Giudice is released from prison and in 'ICE custody' awaiting deportation appeal


Joe Guidice has been released from prison, according to TMZ

The 46-year-old reality star was reportedly in ‘ICE custody’ early this morning following his release from the Allenwood Low Federal Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania.

Giudice is reportedly ‘at an unknown location’ and ‘will remain there at least until he gets his day in court to appeal deportation.’

Joe reported to prison in March 2016 to serve a 41 month sentence after he pleaded guilty to 39 counts of conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud, and faces deportation as he ‘never obtained an official U.S. citizenship,’ according to Radar Online.

‘Mr. Giudice has finished serving his federal prison sentence and was transferred early this morning from the Bureau of Prisons to a facility in western Pennsylvania which houses immigration detainees,’ family attorney James J. Leonard said. 

‘His lawyers and his family are hopeful that justice will prevail and Mr. Guidice will return home to his wife and four daughters who love him and miss him.’

His oldest daughter Gia posted a sweet throwback photo with her father and wrote, ‘sending you my love and strength today and always I love you.’

Earlier in the week, Teresa Giudice’s brother Joe Gorga admitted on Fox 5’s Good Day New York that the Real Housewives of New Jersey star ‘has to be prepared’ for divorce if her husband Joe is deported to Italy

‘He is getting out, but ICE is picking him up,’ Gorga said, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Gorga made it clear that his sister ‘has no choice’ but to plan for her future without her husband following his prison release.

‘If he goes to Italy, they’re not coming,’ Gorga said.

When asked if that meant divorce was imminent for the 46-year-old mother, Gorga answered ‘yes’ without fear. 

His sentence was shorted by five months and he’s expected to be released from the federal institution this month, but Teresa is making sure she’s mentally prepared for what could happen once he is free. 

Moved on? While Joe and Teresa were married in 1999, rumors have been swirling that she's already left her husband for a much younger man as she was spotted holding hands with Blake Schreck in Miami last month

‘Is she prepared? She has no choice,’ he said. ‘She has to be prepared; what is she going to do?’

Teresa told Andy Cohen that she’s splitting her family between two countries despite spending more than 20 years as his wife.

‘I’m not doing a long distance relationship. I’m not doing it,’ Teresa told Andy. ‘I want somebody with me every day.’

Leonard told DailyMail.com in February that ‘The only lawyers Teresa is talking to are her husbands immigration lawyers and those conversations are about bringing Joe home where he belongs. Nobody is talking about getting divorced.’

He added that ‘Joe Giudice is a fighter and he wants to come home. His lawyers are putting up a hell of a fight in an effort to make that happen.’

Their family of six has been through a difficult few years with Teresa serving 11 months in prison herself just before Joe’s sentence began. 

While Joe and Teresa were married in 1999, rumors have been swirling that she’s already left her husband for a much younger man as she was spotted holding hands with Blake Schreck in Miami last month.

Leonard told People that ‘there is no cheating, no divorce’ and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga also claimed, ‘if it were true, I’d know something.’

The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars have four children: Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10.
