LOL

I don't care what anyone says, I was truly hoping he would get deported. It might be a waste of taxpayer money relative to other needs, but I dunno it seems worth it somehow

This entire case seemed stupid and from what I hear Sheiky is actually a pretty nice guy.

Good for him.

What I take from this is not that we have a repressive government. But rather that there are a lot of people in the government who are pretty mediocre, know it, and desperately look for opportunities to prove they shouldn't lose their job. So when a case comes up that happens to extremely technically meet the criteria that have been written down somewhere, they jump on it to prove they are doing something.

The fact that the totality of the situation made it obvious that the written rules didn't apply here, was not something they wanted to hear because that would not help them personally. The fact that it was a 20 year old having an altercation with his 17 year old girlfriend (or something along those lines) and that it was twelve years ago and that he is now married to an American woman and has an American daughter and that he came here when he was nine and now mainly hangs around with Jews was obviously no consequence at first to these mediocre functionaries. Nor was the fact that it would hurt the American economy to deport a guy who loves to draw three.
