Person in question was a legal immigrant...

The officer twisted a couple of fingers shoving a legal immigrant who reached toward the officer. That may legally be battery of an officer, but it sure is silly and is not worth deporting a legal immigrant over.

would not be pleased

The issue is a red herring, since a Meter Maid is not a "Peace Officer"

he asked for the officer's name and then "ill advisedly moved his hand toward the officer's name tag." The officer shoved the petitioner's hand away, and in the process had two fingers slightly twisted. And that, under Illinois law, constitutes an aggravated battery of a peace officer.

That's farking retarded.

And how is a meter maid a peace officer?

I say we deport people who call for deporting people!

He reached for the officer's name tag after having asked for the officer's name. Why would he feel compelled to do this if the officer had complied with the request to identify him/herself?

Obviously, the immigrant who was deported is black. If he was a white immigrant he would have gotten away with it.

For tearing up parking tickets? I dunno, I would be more in favour of deporting the worlds population of crazy Arabs and crazy Americans on a one way trip to the sun.

he was probably an asshole anyways.

Yes, and all the people who cut the tags off their mattress. And squeeze the Charmin.

Well, duh.

Obviously, this immigrant from Molestacopland is not familiar with who is in charge over here.

Doesn't that mean you're calling for your own deportation?

From the article:

In this case, the petitioner had a confrontation with a police officer in which he asked for the officer's name and then "ill advisedly moved his hand toward the officer's name tag."

Unless the name tag was in braille, the petitioner is a moron.

/Either way, probably shouldn't be driving.

Wait, we don't?

MooseUpNorth: He reached for the officer's name tag after having asked for the officer's name. Why would he feel compelled to do this if the officer had complied with the request to identify him/herself?

Maybe he reached as he asked. No matter how the whole altercation occurred, it is not worth deporting someone. I doubt it even really merited a prosecution.

Bub-bye

When a Cop hurts himself while assaulting someone, it's a crime. Just not against the cop.

/now pick up that can

Good god yes, let's ruin a man's life because a meter maid hurt himself using the guy's hand.

This country sucks.

the article doesn't say if he was legal or not, but all illegals must be deported.

Yes. Unless I do it.

/has never gotten a parking ticket

Should America USA deport anybody who tears up a parking ticket?

FTFY subby...

/ USA is part of North America
// North America includes Mexico, USA and Canada.

Crime of moral turpitude? That's something that's a felony, in my mind. If someone has a green card and has been in the country legally for years generally, they can become a citizen. If someone is that close to citizenship and crumples a ticket or fusses with a meter maid, deportation is ridiculous. Not to mention, those who prosecute deportation cases are beyond overworked that this is silly to clog up the court's time with BS like this.

Scrophulous Barking Duck, : That may legally be battery of an officer, but it sure is silly and is not worth deporting a legal immigrant over.

New to this country?

Welcome to the Land of the Free, where you have committed assault when a cop punches you in the face for no reason and skins his knuckles on your teeth.

GaryPDX: If they're illegally, absolutely. Catch'em wherever you can.

This.

Alexander Nevsky: Doesn't that mean you're calling for your own deportation?

You saying I should be deported? :-)

This guy heard that this was the thread where he could kill himself some illegals.

bongmiester: the article doesn't say if he was legal or not, but all illegals must be deported.

Umm... yes it does.

Immigrants who have been lawful residents of this country for years can still be deported in a heartbeat if they commit crimes of moral turpitude.

stiletto_the_wise: Alexander Nevsky: Doesn't that mean you're calling for your own deportation?

If a natural born citizen gets "deported" to a different country, it's not called "deportation."

So, I'm calling for your exile instead.

They aren't being deported because they ripped up a parking ticket.

They're being deported because they're in this country illegally.

Submitter is an idiot.

No it doesn't - you implied it from that statement. TFA does not say the individual in question is legal or illegal.

And to Mugato - in many jurisdictions meter maids or "parking enforcement officers" are actually sworn members of the community or county police department.

I hope this officer's name is mud around his or her department. I hope the doctor who signed the paperwork about the officer's hand is curt and politely detached during the officer's next physical. I hope this officer's friends have something better to do the next time he or she invites them out.

This officer threw a hissy fit because someone asked for their name. Now a legal resident is being deported for asking for an officer's name.

This is the guy that makes it really hard for good cops to do their jobs.

nekom Oh come on. Really, their only crime is violating U.S. law.

Say what??

In the pdf link to the judge's decision, it states that the individual has been a legal resident since 2001.

It also says that the officer sustained no injuries. The crime of moral turpitude was argued by immigration authorities based on a Texas law. However, in Texas, unlike in Illinois, the officer has to actually be injured for a crime to be considered aggravated assault.

I LOL'd Everywhere

This asshat needs to be deported. If he does not agree with the ticket in question he would be entitled to due process to challenge the ticket in parking court. We don't know the facts of the ticket in question but reaching for an officer to get their name is just douchbaggery. Their name should be on the ticket in question. A legal immigrant of a "few years" should know the rules by now.

We have enough douchbags as it is. kick this one out.

In many jurisdictions, police and peace officers are required to give their names verbally when requested. It is not enough for their name to be on the ticket.

Maybe the guy is a douchebag, but that's not reason enough to deport a legal immigrant.

he was getting a parking ticket. he can pay the ticket or go to court, this is America. why would this macho jackass want to tear up a ticket and harass a lowly meter maid. the woman was only doing her job. i would imagine there was was some screaming involved maybe a full fledged childlike tantrum.her name and badge number is on the farking ticket.

Douchebaggery is inherently base, vile, or depraved. Back to Monkeystan with you. Next!

But the article itself, as argued, does not indicate the legality of the individual at question.

I am looking forward to the day when we can deport citizens. That would be awesome.

I ate at a restaurant called the Crazy Swede once. Should I be deported?

perhaps he has a green card, from another country here legally to work but not a citizen.

You fail at reading comprehension. This guy did not tear up the ticket. There is nothing in the article or the linked decision that indicates that there was any screaming, much less a full fledged childlike tantrum. Yes, her name was likely on the ticket (though the name is often illegible, and for that reason, many jurisdictions require officers to verbally give their name when requested, regardless of whether it is on the ticket), and yes, it's never a good idea to grab at an officer in any way, but is that a crime of "moral turpitude" such that it's worthy of deportation?

Depends. Are they white?

bikerbob: perhaps he has a green card, from another country here legally to work but not a citizen.

A green card does not mean "here legally to work." It means that the person is a lawful permanent resident, which is a step away from citizenship.
