Immigrants may dodge deportation thanks to tattoos
A Pakistani man facing deportation from the United States due to drug charges had a federal appeals court rule in his favor.
“Rafiq, a Catholic, makes the unusual claim that the tattoos he has on his forearms violate Islamic law and could make him identifiable to extremists as someone who has converted from Islam. Rafiq feared being beheaded upon his return, according to the brief Rafiq submitted on appeal.”

That is really dumb to me. He should have thought about having his head cut off before he became an addict. I’m not saying it’s right that he could be beheaded, however it is right they he is getting sent back, it isn’t our job to worry about what will happen to him, or what law he will be punished for over there, aslong as we do our job here and inforce the law.
