Following a nearly eight-year-long court battle to prevent the deportation of Hartford resident Wayzaro Walton to England for felony shoplifting and five misdemeanor convictions, the Board of Immigration Appeals has ruled that Walton can permanently remain in Connecticut.
The deportation fight raised questions about the federal government’s acknowledgment of state pardons, and is good news for defendants facing deportation for crimes committed in the United States.
