German deported after threatening to kill President Bush
A German man who used a public library computer to e-mail death threats against President Bush has been deported. An immigration judge decided last month that the conviction of Volker Czechanowsky demonstrated he had engaged in terrorist activities. An indictment charged he used a Broward County library computer to send an e-mail to the Miami FBI office, saying, ``I will kill the president by 5/30/03; catch me if you can; long live Saddam.ââ The message was sent last May 6. Czechanowsky, 37, was placed on probation under a plea agreement last October but was jailed while facing deportation. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said he was flown home Wednesday. ``This represents the final step in our efforts to remove an individual who has flagrantly abused our countryâs laws and freedoms,ââ said Jesus Torres, ICE chief in Miami. Czechanowsky is a German citizen and had been a legal U.S. resident. Noncitizens face deportation after felony convictions.Posted by: TS 2004-02-12 |
