Justin Bieber Allowed Into U.S. After ICE Search Turns Up Empty

Last week, Justin Bieber was charged in Miami with driving under the influence, resisting arrest without force, and driving with an expired license.

Bieber "made some statements that he had consumed some alcohol, and that he had been smoking marijuana and consumed some prescription medication," Martinez said.

I think predictions this may lead to his deportation are overblown, if not just false. The D.U.I carries a maximum penalty of 6 months. By itself, it's not a crime of moral turpitude, a crime of violence or an aggravated felony. [More...]
