Federal Court: Illegal Immigrant And Convicted Felon Can’t Be Deported Because He’s Transgender
Daily Caller ^ | September 3, 2015 | Blake Neff

Posted on 09/03/2015 4:16:25 PM PDT by Zakeet

A federal appeals court has ruled that an illegal immigrant and convicted felon can’t be deported back to Mexico because he identifies as a transgender woman, which leaves him vulnerable to torture back in his home country.

Edin Carey Avendano-Hernandez was born male in Mexico, and claims to have been raped by his brothers and suffered other torments. In 2000, he illegally entered the U.S. and took up residence in Fresno, California. Avendano-Hernandez also started taking female hormones and began living openly as a woman in 2005. In 2006, he committed two separate drunk driving offenses, the second of which injured two people and resulted in a felony conviction. After serving a year in jail, he was deported back to Mexico in 2007.

The decision technically doesn’t spare Avendano-Hernandez from deportation, but it means his deportation will be delayed until he no longer faces a risk of being tortured.

While the decision only applies to Avendano-Hernandez, it could encourage more transgendered Mexicans to seek asylum in the U.S., as Nguyen’s description of torture in Mexico is quite general.

” In 2006, he committed two separate drunk driving offenses, the second of which injured two people and resulted in a felony conviction. After serving a year in jail, he was deported back to Mexico in 2007.”

I don’t see anything in the picture that shows he was tortued in Mexico after his first deportation.

Here’s the answer: Deport the judge and every member of his family.

So this means we can keep him in jail HERE for the full double-drunk-driving offenses committed earlier, right?

plus, the felony of coming back across the border.

There are not enough lamp posts. We might need to improvise.

Yep. So all illegals just need to put on lipstick and a bra and they’re good to stay (not that they’re getting kicked out anyways)?
