    ICE noted Noviello had been a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. since 1991, after entering the country through legal visa status in 1988. However, it also said he was facing removal for being convicted of drug charges “as a non-immigrant overstay.”

    (Emphasis mine)

    So which was he, a lawful permanent resident or a non-immigrant overstay?

      B) 49 year old drug trafficking canadian? Guy probably had some medical-marh-j and forgot this card at home or something.

      You’re commenting on an article that includes the details, no need to speculate.

      According to Volusia County court records accessed online, Noviello was arrested in November 2017 along with his father on allegations the pair were selling opioid painkillers out of their Daytona Beach used auto dealership.

      Drug Enforcement Administration agents said Noviello obtained oxycodone, morphine and other pills by paying associates to obtain and fill prescriptions, and then provide those drugs to him.

      Noviello was charged with trafficking oxycodone and other illegal drugs, as well as racketeering and using a two-way communication device to facilitate criminal activity. He pleaded guilty to all charges in September 2023 after withdrawing an earlier plea of not guilty.

      If he deserved any punishment, that’s not ICE’s job. And this clearly wouldn’t be the punishment for whatever he may have done.
