Find Better Martyrs. The Left rallies against the deportation of a convicted thief and fraudster.

City Journal reports:

When Ravi Ragbir was taken into custody by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents three weeks ago, one might think that he’d had fair warning—after all, he’d been ordered deported in 2006. But according to Manhattan federal district court judge Katherine B. Forrest, ICE, in detaining Ragbir, violated his constitutional “freedom to say goodbye” to his wife and “hug” her. Yesterday, Forrest ordered ICE to release him, in an opinion that Stephen Yale-Loehr, an otherwise supportive Cornell law professor, characterized as “long on rhetoric and short on careful legal analysis.”

Ravi Ragbir was a legal immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago when he was arrested in 1999 for wire fraud in connection with a subprime mortgage scam involving forged signatures and stolen home loans.

Ragbir built a new career for himself as an activist for deportable aliens such as himself, and he became executive director of the New Sanctuary Coalition.
