Dhs Official: Deportation Proceedings and Immigration

dhs official: The official said an immigration judge ordered on June 13, 2016, that Al Khammasi be removed from the country, according to The Chronicle Herald. Four months later, federal prosecutors ended the deportation proceedings, citing an unrelated 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that found a portion of federal immigration law defining what makes crimes violent and making it easier to deport someone convicted of such a crime too vague. The DHS official, who was not authorized to discuss the case on the record and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said Monday that federal immigration authorities began deportation proceedings against Karrar Noaman Al Khammasi after he violated probation terms of a felony trespassing plea in 2015. He was released on Nov. 7, 2016, the official said. On appeal, Golicov argued that federal law outlining classes of immigrants who could be deported, including those convicted of a crime of violence, was unconstitutionally vague and should not be used to justify his removal from the country. In the appeals case, Moldova native Constantine Fedor Golicov was convicted in Utah of failing to stop at a police officer's command, prompting immigration officials to begin deportation proceedings against him.
