JAMAICAN WHO APPEALED TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, IMMIGRATION DROPS DEPORTATION CASE AGAINST HIM!

The deportation case against a Jamaican man who was convicted of a 2013 drug offence in Massachusetts has been dropped by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

A Hampshire Superior Court judge quashed the conviction.

Shawn Davis had his conviction erased after judge Richard Carey ruled in his favor on Friday that he was not properly counseled by his attorney that his guilty plea in the case would likely lead to deportation.

ICE confirmed on Tuesday that it was no longer pursuing the case.

Davis who immigrated to the United States as a child, was arrested in Cummington, Massachusetts and sentenced to a year in jail on charges of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and drug conspiracy.

After his release, Davis filed to reverse his conviction.

In an affidavit, he wrote that he would have never agreed to his plea deal if he knew he would later have to leave the United States.
