This won’t stand for the simple reason that deportation is a civil action, not a criminal punishment. That there are civil penalties in addition to criminal penalties is not a reason for criminal penalty mitigation.

Goldman pursued OJ, getting his Heisman trophy and other memorabilia. This resulted in OJ trying to steal some of it back when in Vegas, and being convicted and sent to prison for 33 years, 9 years minimum before parole.
