How little can we possibly care about how long he has resided in the US?
All that time and he didn’t assimilate and didn’t become a citizen.
Good riddance.
If he has cleaned up his life why is he hanging around the courthouse?
Nails it.
Deporting this Somali Common criminal——a junkie and alkie-—fits right into Trump’s deportation rationale.
The Somali’s own activities underline he is not beneficial to our country.
I do not get the rancor over arresting at a court house. Is there a more appropriate location for an arrest?

It’s certainly safer for everyone concerned .... the officers, the public & the person being handed over to ICE. A handover in a controlled environment between law officers is preferable by far to going into a community that is likely hostile and knocking on doors or making traffic stops - even going to a workplace. If the media truly cared about public safety, they’d report it that way, but no ..... the “outrage” is to give the ‘Rat b@stard media something ginned up & negative to report about immigration laws finally being enforced.
Given this POS’s record, he’ll fit in and likely do quite well in Somalia.
He may even get a gig on one of the pirate boats.
“I’m moved by your story, sir. Here’s your ticket.”
“Next!”
They are deporting non-citizens who have committed crimes. Why would you say this doesn’t fit the new ICE policy ? It doesn’t matter if someone is here legally or not — if convicted of a crime, immediate deportation following serving time for the crime.
That has always been the law, it just wasn’t being enforced.
“I’m moved by your story, sir. Here’s your ticket.”
“Next!”
They need to find better poster children for their cause. The problem is that when they find them, they are not suffering the same fate. And there is a reason for that. :)
“Why are they doing this right now to me when they didn’t do it back then?” he said.
Exactly. Why haven't the laws been enforced for the past 20-odd years? But I don't think that's what he meant.
What are the chances he ignored several ICE notices to appear at their office and nabbing him at the county courthouse was Plan B?
Also notice how they left out the part that the couple was unmarried after 7 years together - so as not to spoil the EITC she was getting for her brood. The “reporter” left out the ages of the youngins - how much you wanna bet at least one of them is his? (refer to EITC comment above)
Folks, the bangor daily news is FAKE NEWS.
It like the Portland Press Herald and the Lewiston Sun Journal are carbon copies of the new york slimes, boston globe, and the washington poo.
They are experts on twisting one word, putting in or taking out one line to push their anti-Republic, Christ hating, democrat propaganda.
And this article fails to mention the fact that he was detained after being released after arraignment for oui.
But he didn't, and now he's paying the price.
I gotta tell ya, this article is trying to hit all of the notes. "Turning his life around". "Starting a new business". "Girlfriend with three kids hardest hit". All that's missing is a quote from Grandma saying that he was "Such a good boy." Writer has a future with the NY Times.
We'll conveniently ignore the fact that the guy is a lifetime petty criminal, constantly in and out of trouble with the law. And here illegally, to boot. That bit was completely glossed over.
That’s the part I could not get - The newspaper said he was here ‘legally’
ICE does not deport people here legally... oops, unless they commit crimes.
Who is supporting his children? If we are, then deport him - he’s no good here anyway and just taking a job from someone else.
IIRC, she died.
HE didn't want it ... so leave.
Tragedy! Tragedy! I wiped my tears on my pjs. This guy is a patriot and a taxpayer: a future entrepreneur. This situation has “struck deep anxiety into the state’s immigrant community.” My advice: avoid the court house. That would involve not getting arrested for drunken driving. Ali is a devoted family man. He probably did not marry after nine years because of welfare benefits. Still his “family” is being torn apart. A nine year relationship. Are the children his? What is the welfare cost? Everyone makes mistakes. Two convictions for assault, a cocaine conviction, drunken driving, robbery and drug trafficking. Sounds like a valuable member of society.
I agree. A courthouse is where the law is supposed to be paramount. Enforcing the law at a courthouse is pure justice
I’ve never had a misdemeanor conviction. No one in my family has had a misdemeanor conviction. I don’t know of any of my acquaintances having had a misdemeanor conviction. It is not common in normal society to have had a misdemeanor conviction. I think it is a reasonable litmus test for immigration.
Some other good litmus tests for immigration are low IQ, illness, and poverty. It’s not our responsibility to save everyone in the World, and it is not in our capacity to save everyone in the world.
