        No, only if he was an "ILLEGAL" immigrant. Please learn the difference or don't make posts.

        Did he get arrested for taking the soda or hitting the manager with his car?

        Stupid reporter claims “aggravated felony” includes misdemeanors. A misdemeanor can’t be a felony by definition.

        Article says he hit the manager with car. Suddenly goes from 5th degree theft to 1st degree robbery. Cars can be considered a deadly weapon.

        I dunno. Total value of the soda theft was about $9, with $6 returned. Why did the manager jump in front of a car?

        I need enlightenment about all the legal immigrant deportations that are taking place over minor crimes (since Trump took office that is).
