Authorities tried twice to deport unarmed black man fatally shot by cops
EL CAJON, Calif. — US authorities tried twice to deportthe unarmed black man fatally shot by police in El Cajon, California, but his native Uganda refused to take him.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday in a statement to the Associated Press that Alfred Olango stopped reporting to officers in February 2015.
Spokeswoman Virginia Kice didn’t know if officers tried to find him after that.
Olango arrived as a refugee in 1991 and was ordered deported in 2002 after being convicted on drug charges. He was released under a US Supreme Court ruling barring detention of foreign nationals if deportation is unlikely.
Immigration authorities took Olango into custody in 2009 after a firearms conviction but were again unable to obtain travel documents.
