Is there any indication that ICE is moving to deport him? Or is this pure speculation coming out of the voter fraud charges, where he worked on behalf of Republicans to juice their numbers?
I'd predict he gets a presidential pardon before he gets deported.
Also appears to be old news, as he was indicted back in December. No indication to date that he's been moved to a detention center or threatened with deportation.
@homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world provided a more in depth article: https://www.kcur.org/politics-elections-and-government/2025-11-29/coldwater-mayor-voter-fraud-deportation-ceballos-kansas-attorney-general
DHS said, if he's found guilty, they'd start removal procedures. Of course, wouldn't be out of character for them to do it, anyway, even if he's not convicted.
Why wait? They've never dragged their heels like this before
If I were to wager a guess (and IANL, etc.), he'd need to've committed a crime since he has a permanent resident green card? Not that I wouldn't put it past them to try it, anyway. Though it probably makes for a much more effective propaganda message of, "See; these people are illegally voting and that's why we have to remove them," (just don't look to closely at who he's been voting for).
Ultimately – though –, I dunno; I just know that's what DHS said, according to the article.
