    Local news says

    Mbock came to the United States as a child from Cameroon in 2002. Court documents show he had a long-standing removal order, “which resulted from a grant of voluntary departure in 2005.” It was eventually converted to a removal order. Despite the removal order, family and friends say Mbock completed his yearly check-ins and was able to renew his work permit without any problems from ICE for decades.

    I guess with the push to enforce they no longer wanted to extend his renewals and he finally got removed. I wonder why the article didn’t include that detail?
