It appears he's being removed pursuant to a decision made in 2015, i.e., on Obama's watch. So he's known for nearly a decade that he's effectively considered an illegal immigrant and subject to removal, and been able to keep his head down in that time.

I saw an article about his case a few days ago. He's complaining that he's having trouble understanding the Jamaican patois.

Gwaan laugh. A Yard man from kunchry, who catered my wedding 25 years ago in Canada, sounded like he was mumbling Japanese or something. Me could barely mek heads from tails from intestines.

Its everywhere in the Caribbean.

Some dialects are just “WTF did he/she jes say??” big grin

Antiguans can be hard to understand too.

But as I said……it’s everywhere. Part of our shared culture.

Two faced America. Deporting this man for being born on an American military base but yet was ready to crown John McCain POTUS (twice). The same McCain who was also born on an American military base.

Two faced or racist???

The bad things are happening invariably to the black and brown people.

Lets see if Elon gets the boot as his former best fren is threatening.
