NYT: How dare Trump deport a "nuanced" kidnapper?

Sure, the New York trial judge ordered the Jamaican kidnapper deported back to Jamaica after his 15 year sentence, but just look at those puppy dog eyes!

How dare the Trump Administration deport somebody with such kindly, innocent eyes back to Jamaica where he spent his first 23 years of his life just because he kidnapped somebody during his first year in the United States?

From the New York Times news section:

21 Years Later, Deported Back to a ‘Home’ He Barely Knew

Two decades had passed since Nascimento Blair was last in Jamaica, his homeland. Much had changed, including Mr. Blair himself.

Nascimento Blair felt like a stranger in a little-known land. This was not the homecoming he imagined.

Luis Ferré-Sadurní and Todd Heisler reported from Kingston, Jamaica, where they chronicled the circumstances of a man deported to his homeland.

Nascimento Blair returned home in shackles.

He landed in Jamaica in February, 21 years after he had abandoned the island, seated next to dozens of his countrymen who were also handcuffed. As he stepped off the plane at the seaside airport in Kingston and felt the scorching Caribbean sun of his youth, Mr. Blair, 44, was greeted with suspicion.

Still dazed, he looked out of place. He had on the same winter clothes — a peacoat, turtleneck, gray suit and Chelsea boots — he had been wearing when U.S. immigration authorities had abruptly detained him on a frigid morning in New York City weeks earlier.

He noticed his slightly Americanized accent as he sat through hours of interrogation by Jamaican authorities at the airport. And he felt like an outcast as Jamaican officials snapped his mug shot, took his fingerprints and asked about his past.

“They don’t look at you like a Jamaican,” Mr. Blair said. “They look at you like a criminal.”

What an injustice it is that Jamaican officials act wary of such a harmless-looking kidnapper.

Mr. Blair did not give them details about his past, an odyssey that began with a side hustle dealing marijuana in the New York suburbs as a 24-year-old Jamaican transplant, which led to a kidnapping conviction he disputed and a 15-year prison sentence he fulfilled.

It was his criminal past that had gotten him deported from the United States, where he had been rebuilding his life and seeking redemption. He had earned two college degrees, started a trucking business, mentored people released from prison, cared for a fiancée with breast cancer, taken classes at Columbia University.

None of it would stave off deportation: He was among the first few thousand immigrants scattered across the globe during the early days of President Trump’s deportation campaign.

On paper, Mr. Blair fit the profile of the people Mr. Trump says he wants to deport: those with criminal backgrounds. In a statement, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security blamed the Biden administration for not deporting Mr. Blair sooner.

But to Mr. Blair and his supporters, his life story was one of rehabilitation, nuanced and filled with qualities that they believe Mr. Trump’s deportation machine disregards as it flies out immigrants en masse.

Look at what an unfashionable meal this convicted kidnapper is forced to have with his family back home in Jamaica! It's a Human Rights violation that's he's not eating at Sushi Noz in Manhattan.

That living room paint job color the convicted kidnapper must endure back home with his family in Jamaica should be brought up at the International Criminal Court for war crimes at The Hague. My mother had that color in her living room back around 1964 and I still shudder to think about it.

Look at this hideous ocean view that the convicted kidnapper must endure back home in his native Jamaica. The poor felon must have at least a quarter mile walk to the beach. He can barely hear the sound of the waves from his house.

Is that the kind of window treatment that a convicted kidnapper deserves?

I think NOT!
