    Default Hickenlooper pardons felon to prevent deportation

    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    Now? I think most of us have known this for some time. This would be just more proof for those who are paying attention. For most Colorado voters this won't even register. Squirrel!

    Here is my one thing on this...it does appear he had changed. I don't know the full circumstances surrounding the case but 90 some odd years for 2 robberies seems out of line. Murder and rape gets lighter sentences.

    From HERE

    The Blockbuster was one of two video stores that Lima-Marin and his accomplice Michael Clifton robbed. They were convicted on multiple robbery, kidnapping and burglary counts. Clifton is still in prison, serving his 98-year sentence.
    I wonder what his accomplice thinks about this guys walking.

    To be fair on this one, it looks to be a pardon because of the silliness of releasing him early and being out for like 6 years getting his live together then trying to put him back. It's just a whoops when I've them scooped him up after. The pardon shouldn't affect his immigration status and ensuing deportation.

    The pardon wouldn't affect his immigration status, but it does affect his conviction... which could potentially change ICE's deportation order (as they've stated they are gearing more toward deporting those convicted or charged with crimes).

    No it won't. Immigration gives exactly zero F*cks about a pardon. In fact, if you aren't a citizen, you get into trouble, get some charges, but the initial charges are lowered, immigration still uses the initial charges to decide if they want to deport you. It's like dealing with the DMV, but even more difficult because you have no rights.

    On top of that, Trump's recent immigration EO gives compete discretion to the immigration officer deciding the case. So if he rubs the officer the wrong way, he's gone.
