P.R. Laws Ap. tit. 34A, § II, Rule 70
The court shall not accept the plea of guilty without first determining that it is made voluntarily, with understanding of the nature of the charge and of the consequence of said plea.
The court, prior to accepting a plea of guilty in cases of a felony, shall also, for the record, advise the defendant of the following:
“If you are not a U.S. citizen, you are hereby advised that a conviction for the crime of which you are accused could entail deportation, exclusion from entering the United States or denial of naturalization pursuant to the laws of the United States.”
If requested, the court shall grant the defendant additional time to consider whether the plea of guilty is the adequate action pursuant to the warning set forth in this rule.
