Terrorist can stay in States

A JUDGE ruled that a man convicted of aiding in the 1988 killings of two British soldiers in Ulster committed a "purely political" crime and should not be deported, a United States government official said.

An immigration judge said that the motive of Sean O’Cealleagh is not grounds for his removal from the US.

O’Cealleagh, 35, was arrested in February after returning to LA from a visit to Ireland.

The US government was seeking his deportation for committing a crime of ‘moral turpitude.’
