chea... the homie Jamal back on the street...

hopefully he doesnt get deported !!!

it doesn't appear that shyne is a free man. he is being held due to his immigration status and possible deportation.

i'm just so confused as to why they didn't review all of this before he was set to be free on his charges of two counts of assault, reckless endangerment and gun possession. couldn't they start reviewing this before he was paroled on his sentence?

i think I remember Slick Rick being set free only to be held on Immigration charges.

what is going on?

From what I understand, it doesn't happen in advance because its two different organizations/legal systems. The INS folks (feds) don't get alerted until jailed nationals are up for parole or release by the State. At that point they begin the process of determining whether deportation is necessary and/or appropriate.

My understanding is that with the creation of Homeland Security most every national gets tagged for deportation, including those folks who may have immigrated here as children and have no contact or ties to their home country. Hope he has some relatives back in the old country who will look out, because otherwise its a plane ticket "home" and no other assistance.

i understand homeland security and why this "law" was put into place. i think that the fact that the feds wait until the "prisoner" is released from the state and that's when they start the paperwork...is RIDICULOUS.

i don't want to minimize what shyne was incarcerated for, but he has been in this country since he was a young boy.

this truly is a tough discussion about the real world that we live in, but everything is telling me that he has changed his ways.

oh well...i await the outcome of this.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for his release. Many countries, including the USA and Australia to name two, maintain general policies of deporting non-citizens once they're released from prison. Regardless of how long the person has lived in a country, most countries prefer to make ex-felons another country's problem.

I remember a case in Australia of a guy who'd migrated from Italy as a 2 year old, and was deported in his mid 20's after being released from jail - he didn't speak Italian, but they sent him to Italy anyway. Lesson: take out your adopted country's citizenship as soon as possible.

His best hope is that Belize will refuse to accept him.
