Hey, look on the bright side. At least it was for being here illegally. Usually, when they are taken out in handcuffs and arrested it’s for a completely different child related crime.

What took then so long?

Yup, sadly, THAT was my first thought

Is this the one who tried to get a green card repeatedly?

lets say 10-11 years ago you purposely cheated on your taxes but you are now a Pastor, Would the IRS give you a break, I think not, why should ICE.

He wasnt Catholic.

Good riddance !

As a Christian and a preacher I don’t have an issue with his deportation. 13-14 years is plenty of time to apply for citizenship. And those who preach God’s word are held, by God, to a higher standard. His example of thwarting immigration law has probably been followed by others he influenced. Not exactly a good example.

If he has been trying unsuccessfully to get a green card and move forward with citizenship then I would be suspicious that his arrest during a service was politically driven. Not knowing the whole story makes it hard to form a sound opinion. And who knows, there may have been some other legal matters that played into the arrest.

I have no idea, just that ICE came in during church service and took him out.

I bet everyone on trapperman.com has been illegal in some way. Or close to everyone. I agree about the fruits a person produces, so look at his overall fruits before you cast stones.

Yep, and I've paid the price for some of my illegal actions. If you are gonna break the law, prepare to pay the penalty.

Long as he stays in his own orchard...

During the service? Did they actually show pictures of it or is this what the mainstream media or hearsay reported?

I find it weird that people who generally are against government control cheer for this particular kind of government control. Especially for some one who is loved by his community.

I don't agree with a lot of government control, but laws are laws. If you don't agree, it does not give you the right to break it. Change the law, comply, or bear the burden of the consequences.

He had a 6 month visa and overstayed 24 years.

I'm guessing that a H of a lot of us are happy our ancient relatives came here even if they were illegal. Have you checked?

Let me guess - his peaceful parish is about to riot.

Core common sense Malum en Se laws are defined as wrong in fact laws such Murder, Theft, Trespass. Conservativism and Constitutional law is pretty much cut and dried on enforcing these.

What Conservatism and Constitutional law adamantly oppose is the ever increasing proliferation of Malum en Prohibitum or wrong by administrative edict regulation that erodes fundamental liberty.

In the case of this particular pastor he violated a most basic malum en se rule. He entered into and remained within a tribal boundary that he was not a member of. It's rather basic when you think about it.

There wasn't any limitations until the late 1800s and barely then. That's definitely not ancient.

I wasn't aware that a sovereign government and unified people existed on the North American continent prior to 1776?
