Wisconsin father of two deported to west Africa

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. — After more than 20 years in the United States, a Wisconsin man was deported to west Africa earlier this week, a federal agency confirmed.

Buba Jabbi, 41, of Wisconsin Rapids was deported Tuesday and back in Gambia by Wednesday afternoon, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement statement issued Wednesday.

Jabbi had entered the U.S. in 1995 and overstayed his visa. He was detained Feb. 15 after checking in with federal authorities as he had been directed and was set for deportation based on a judge's order from 2010.

A stay of removal had been filed on his behalf but was denied Feb. 27, according to Nicole Alberico, a public affairs officer with ICE.

Jabbi, the father of two daughters ages 5 and 1, was being held at a detention center in Sierra Blanca, Texas.

Is it safe to call Trump's ICE a terrorist group yet?

snatched him up when he reported to authorities as was required.


, and they are expecting a third child in October.

Katrina Jabbi said she works part time from home and moved back to Wisconsin Rapids, about 135 miles northwest of Milwaukee, to be closer to her family. Her husband had been working as a truck driver.

Buba Jabbi has not been charged with a crime in Wisconsin and his detention was not the result of a criminal arrest.

He came to the United States in 1995 on a temporary travel visa to attend the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, according to Katrina Jabbi. When he tried to change his status to allow him to stay in the U.S., the paperwork he filed was incorrect and his case was moved into removal proceedings, where he remained for several years.

However, Buba Jabbi was considered "undeportable" because his country would not provide travel documents on his behalf, she said. Instead, he was given orders of supervision, requiring him to report to immigration once a year and obtain work authorization, which he had done for the past 10 years.

Buba Jabbi was at his annual appointment Feb. 15 in Milwaukee with immigration officials when he was detained and told he would be deported, his wife said.
The statement from ICE said his travel documents from Gambia had been validated.............

There were a lot of deportations in that era, as well. Does it differ because he reported as required?

in San Diego when he comes here to visit his fucking wall prototypes next week. ICE is treating these innocent people as if they are armed gunmen. There are two protest rallies on March 12th and we are at The Wall on March 13th when he goes there.

She's PREGNANT with 2 small kids and they deport her tax paying, law abiding husband? Wtf?? For what?? And I bet the same deplorables who did this also claim to be pro life, but the stress they've put on this poor woman while pregnant can lead to real complications and damage. You have to be a cruel asshole to think this is appropriate.

All those pricks see is the word "illegal" and probably haven't read past that word. That's why they're deplorables. They're assholes and proud of being assholes.
