Judge's order blocking removal of man from U.S. wasn't received until after he was deported, DHS says

3. Reading further down into the story, DHS' attitude was to say 'fuck you' to the media

From further into the story:

McLaughlin said Souvannarath "lost his green card" and was ordered to be deported in 2006 following convictions for "heinous crimes" — assault and unlawful possession of a firearm — and "had no right to be in this country." It was not clear why Souvannarath was not previously taken into ICE custody.

In 2004, Souvannarath was convicted of unlawful firearm possession and assault against his then-girlfriend in King County, Washington. He had also been convicted of a misdemeanor assault against the same woman several years before, court records show.

"20 years later, he tried a Hail Mary attempt to remain in our country by claiming he was a U.S. citizen," McLaughlin wrote in her statement. "I know its shocking to the media — but criminal illegal aliens lie all the time."

Souvannarath's wife, Beatrice, described him as a hard worker and loving father who stayed out of trouble since his run-ins with the law two decades ago. He's mostly worked installing air conditioners and heaters, she said. "He doesn't even drink," she said.

The DHS was determined to deport him. Seems like they were going to deport him no matter what the judge said.
