[quote:wisc_natureboy:MV8yMjg0NDUzXzM4ODY4OTI0X0RFQjU3QjQy] He's a good guy from my neighbourhood. He works as a chef at a local Country Club. The big issue here is back in '96 he had a law student represent him on state pot charges. [b]Wisconsin is weird with pot.[/b] Here in Madison the cops have the discretion to charge simple possession as: a municipal ordinance violation, a county ordinance, or a State criminal charge. His law student 'lawyer' had him plead guilty, which instantly violated his federal immigration terms. We all wish him the best outcome. He has no family at all in Russia. Local and state politicians have not been sympathetic to his cause. [/quote]
Original Message
The 35-year-old now faces deportation because he was charged with marijuana possession as a 19-year-old.
Timofeev, 35, was taken in handcuffs to the Milwaukee office of ICE, where officials told him he had "abandoned" his citizenship petition and was going to be deported because of marijuana possession convictions in Dane County dating back to 1996. He was allowed one call and was then taken to Dodge County Detention Facility in Juneau.

Shouldn't he have an estimated 11 million other undocumented immigrants ahead of him?
