So a non-citizen who was convicted of a federal crime in 2023 was being deported and he died in custody?

"ICE noted Noviello had been a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. since 1991, after entering the country through legal visa status in 1988."

They were only kicking him out because of his drug convictions, which he already served a 12 month prison sentence for.

Basically, "anything bad makes you a non-citizen", which begs the question: how is Trump dealing with domestic terrorists?

    Or his wife who's admitted to overstaying her visa which the vet admission of is grounds for deportation and disqualifying for citizenship and fun fact a crime to lie about to gain citizenship.

    Also fun fact Frederick Trump, Fred Trump's father so Trump's father's father was an illegal immigrant as well and a draft dodger as were Fred and djt.

    Third fun fact, Benny netenyahu and Fred Trump were close personal friends so maybe bombing Iran is a personal favor for his Daddy's friend.

    What lines do we want to draw here because I'm pretty fucking sure there's significantly more shit in the trump family closet than this random immigrant who actually served his time unlike the felon in chief.

    Ed: I realize that sounded like it was aimed at you, it wasn't it just gets me heated lol.

    In Canada, a permanent resident isn't a citizen - their residency can be legally revoked at any time. Is it the same in the US?

    It is, that said it isn't supposed to be revoked willy nilly because it removes incentive to get it in the first place and the government wants legal immigrants not illegal ones. It's the same reason arrests at immigration court are ass backwards unless your intent is to scare people away from attending their hearings so they can then be arrested for missing hearings.
