Thanks to the Trump administration, we don't need to worry about this guy being on the streets anymore.

Because Niec was convicted of two crimes involving “moral turpitude,” stemming from two separate incidents, he is subject to removal, immigration authorities wrote in the notice to appear, citing the Immigration and Nationality Act.

You left out a bit:

 

According to his “notice to appear” from the Department of Homeland Security, Niec’s detention stems from two misdemeanor convictions from 26 years ago. In January 1992, Niec was convicted of malicious destruction of property under $100. In April of that year, he was convicted of receiving and concealing stolen property over $100 and a financial transaction device

Sure, at least if you are going to quote something, that says someone had been guilty of a crime involving moral turpitude, you should at least say what exactly the crime was. Deporting someone for a crime that happened over a quarter of a century ago, seems more than a little excessive, and not exactly judicious use of limited government resources. He is a frickin doctor for crying out loud.

Until my post, a quote from the article, anybody reading this would be clueless that there were CIMT's involved.

Crimes of moral turpitude vary by state and county and are not a federal standard. Are these even felonies?

 

We could go all Jean Valjean on the guys backside or we could apply mercy, judgement and common sense to the situation. A man with his skills and temperament should be embraced.

 

It is ironic to see that the most judgemental, linear,  categorical thinking about immigrants, coming from immigrants. The rules of scarcity continue to rule.

I am saddened how clueless many posters who contribute to CEHST are about Immigration issues.
