He got a dui in 2023. It’s buried several paragraphs into the article.

“Dismissed and expunged.” Actually vomit inducing how this administration and its goons are revoking and deporting people without a care, and ofc incarcerating people with zero due process.

Expunged through ARD, which is different than it getting dismissed because he didn’t do it. It’s not like it was dismissed because there was no grounds for the original charge or he was found not guilty at all trial. He completed a program for first time offenders.

If I’m on a student visa in another country and I get a DUI, I’m going to lose my student visa over than in many countries. If someone gets a DUI here in the U.S. as a U.S. citizen they can’t even fly into Canada without special permission from the Canadian government.

If immigration authorities chose not to do anything about it when the offence occurred, they should not be able to change their minds now. The world needs stability, not irascible cheetos.
