Filipino burglary convict saved from deportation by Trump appointee

A Filipino who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States “but has not always acted lawfully,” according to Justice Kagan, because he committed two crimes of burglary in California was saved from deportation by the vote of Neil Gorsuch, President Trump’s appointee to the Supreme Court who voted with the four liberal justices to create a 5-4 majority. As to why Gorsuch sided with the liberals, see https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/04/why-neil-gorsuch-sided-with-the-liberal-justices-in-sessions-v-dimaya.html ) The case had languished in the Supreme Court for three years because the justices had split 4-4, on whether to deport the immigrant. This case illustrates that persistence pays off even if one is a convicted felon and should serve as an example for other criminal defendants hundreds of whom are innocent but simply wilt like an unwatered flower in a vase and plead “not guilty” or “no contest” even though their case is less odious or is defensible.
