#2Certainly the conditions sound horrible and should be addressed. They glossed over his convictions, so I searched and found the article below. I can see why ICE targeted him.
ROCHESTER, MN -- A Rochester man was arrested for selling drugs to an undercover officer. Police arrested 20 year-old Guled Muhumed of southeast Rochester during an ongoing narcotics investigation. Muhumed sold or possessed 11 grams of crack cocaine, or around a thousand dollars in street value, at the time of the arrest. Police say Muhumed was pulled over during a traffic stop soon after selling the drugs but as the officer walked up to the car he drove off striking another car at The Villages of Essex Park Apartments. But that didn't stop Muhumed who then fled on foot. After a short chase police were able to arrest him. He faces multiple charges including fleeing an officer and drug sales.

He went to prison for it already and has kept clean for years afterwards. Do you think he deserves his deportation still?

Street level sales of crack shouldn’t lead to deportation to a notorious war zone. He paid his debt to society anyway, this is essentially adding a death sentence on top of it.

It’s certainly a statement about our society that we talk about who “deserves” and doesn’t deserve to be deported (not just you, but others and even NPR use that choice of words). As if being deported is a punishment - like prison - for those of us that we can get away with applying it to.

He was ordered deported 8 years ago, but was allowed to stay temporarily. I think the case for him to stay should be heard by a judge who could overrule that order, according to the law.

Where you’re deported to seems like a key factor here, along with whether or not you had to flee from that place, and if you have any connections there. In this case it’s Somalia, he had to flee along with his family, and he has no connections. It’s hard to argue that it isn’t a punishment, with potentially dire consequences.

I have to ask, since this is HN and I presume the typical member has no experience, do you know the damage that crack, or even plain powder cocaine can do to a person? Have you truly witnessed that devastation first hand?
I have. I have no sympathy for someone who chooses to peddle drugs. One can speak about the difference in crack and powder cocaine sentencing, fair. Still, these are not marijuana. They can and will destroy lives.
That this man made it to America and chose to engage in crime says much of his character and willingness to watch humans slip into the abyss.

Yes. We have standards. Accepting a willingness to commit crime goes beyond those standards.

Hmm, fair point. Do you have a suitable substitution?
