In the past few years he has turned his life around...Really?? He was convicted of a felony in 2015.

He turned his life around 360 degrees. Funny how you had to read several paragraphs before you get to the part about his criminal record. It's almost as if the writer included it as an afterthought. I guess it wouldn't have the emotional impact if he had started off the headline with: Somali man with multiple felony convictions being deported.

Oh, please. He knew the rules...

Yep. My wife is a lawful permanent resident (working on her citizenship) and I've made it clear to her to keep her nose clean, not that it was ever a concern. She understands that any trouble and she can get the boot.

I'm sure this Somali did as well when he chose to possess drugs.

You must run with a much better class of people than I do. I have a short handful of friends and acquaintances that have convictions for DUI. Or, Drunk and Disorderly (usually involves far too much beer, at 2am, out in a parking lot of a bar somewhere).

For every single one, as well, getting arrested was the "Uh-Oh" moment for them, that scared them enough to stop being an idiot. They always settled down afterwards.

Strangely enough, all of them (that I can think of) met their wives/girlfriends shortly afterwards as well. That likely settled them down too. Me too.... I can't remember the last time I closed a bar down. Would much rather be home with Mrs WBill and WBill Jr. That's much. much more fun.

But the idiot in the article? Seems like the guy who never learns, and doesn't know when to shut up. I've seen them before too...they're usually getting loaded into the police cruiser and still are running their mouths. Or get popped in the nose in the bar on Friday, and show back up on Saturday to have it happen again.

Sez me, good riddance. I think he's about to learn the definition of "consequences".

Per #31- Looks to be a 7 year old girl, 5 year old boy, and an infant. All of them fall within his insertion window.

Abdi Ali doesn’t have memories of the country to which the United States government intends to deport him.

Note how the reverse argument is never EVER made to keep these types out: How it would be unfair to let into the country some lowlife making his way to the US or Europe because he doesn't speak the language/has spent all his life in Sh!tholistan/no family contacts in the US/Europe/etc.

Never EVER.

Last week, they put him on the plane and flew him into Nigeria. He’s never been to the country, and as far as I know....speaks only German..

Boohoo. See my #45. I'm sick and tired of hearing the press and, much too often, the courts use the above as an excuse. Well done in this case!

Deport him? Heck, he should be a candidate for sainthood if you believe this article. All that’s missing is his cure for cancer.

Deport the POS and save the boo-hoo for someone deserving.

Girlfriend with 3 kids and he isn’t married to her?
Another example of what is wrong with the country and the culture.

More than 20 paragraphs of sainthood before getting to the truth.

The best laugh line, “People go to the court to address wrongs and seek justice”. People go to court because they’ve been arrested.

I would bet they left out a small detail that he has been under a deportation order since his drug conviction. Many illegals in this country have already had an immigration hearing (which many chose not to even attend) and have been under court orders to deport and yet allowed to remain here by the previous administration.

ICE is now gathering up people who already have deportation orders because they can be deported quickly, in as little as a few hours.

How is this man a “hard luck” case? He has been in and out of trouble and was back in court when ICE detained him. He has been here since the age of 7 and only recently “was getting his act together” though that doesn’t ring true when he was back in court for yet another serious issue.

The media wants to pull at heart strings with these stories and usually leave out the information that deportation orders are now being enforced. As they should be.

Some ICE agents and definitely most media drum up cases for propaganda purposes. Thing is, I’m immune to their propaganda.

Keep the money he obtained illegally and use to send him and his spawn back to where they originated. When I am in a cab line outside an airport, I always select a white cab driver.

It’s actually quite simple.

If he’s been here for 20 years and thinks he’s an American he should have applied for citizenship.

Obviously his identification as an American wasn’t very strong. You have to keep the paperwork straight and go through the correct hoops to stay in any country..:^)

“You must run with a much better class of people than I do.”

Better than the class you used to run with...

When my husband became a permanent resident it was very clear that he could still be deported for drug or murder convictions. He is a citizen now.

“What are the chances...”

The media will never give the entire story if it doesn’t fit their own narrative. Their social engineering makes them as much of a criminal as the deported man.
