Bangor Daily News - Abdi Ali doesn’t have memories of the country to which the United States government intends to deport him.
Ali
and his family fled war in Somalia in 1996, when he was 7 years old.
They came to the U.S. legally as refugees, and Ali became a permanent
resident a year later, according to interviews and Immigration and
Customs Enforcement documents.
In his first interview since ICE
agents arrested the 28-year-old inside a Portland [ME] courthouse last
week, Ali said he is terrified of being sent back to Somalia and does
not understand why, after decades in the U.S., he is being deported on a
4-year-old drug possession conviction for which he has already served
jail time.
