Infiltrating or illegally scaling the Empire State Building can result in severe legal consequences. For a foreigner, the penalty involves multiple felony and misdemeanor criminal charges, potential incarceration of up to 7 years per charge, and mandatory immigration review, which typically leads to deportation and a multi-year ban from re-entering the United States. [1, 2, 3]
Infiltrators or "rooftoppers" are heavily prosecuted to deter copycat incidents. Specific penalties and consequences include: [1, 2, 3]
Criminal Charges: Perpetrators face severe local and state charges (e.g., in New York) such as:
Burglary in the third degree: Up to 7 years in prison.
Reckless endangerment: Up to 1 year in prison.
Criminal mischief and Trespassing: Fines and up to 1 year in jail per charge. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Immigration Consequences: Because you are a foreign national, an arrest for a serious crime can result in visa revocation, placement in civil immigration detention, and removal proceedings. A felony conviction usually bars you from returning to or legally immigrating to the United States in the future. [1, 2]
