Justin Bieber Arrest: Will The Singer Be Deported?

Justin Bieber’s arrest on Thursday night, his second brush with the law this month, has concerned fans and eager non-Belilebers wondering if the pop star has set himself up for deportation back to his native Canada.

Justin Bieber Getting Deported?

Bieber was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, non-violent resisting of arrest and driving with an expired license after he was caught drag-racing down a Miami Beach street early Thursday morning. While the charges are serious and could technically come with some jail time, it’s unlikely that Bieber will face deportation for those charges alone.

“He was high and he was drunk and he was drag racing at four in the morning with an expired license. The concept is that aliens guilty of moral of turpitude should be kicked out of the country,” Center for Immigration Studies director Mark Krikorian explained to the Daily Caller. “This guy seems to have a pattern of out-of-control behavior,” Krikorian continued. “It seems to me that it’s just a matter of time before he actually does something that will get him deported.”

Immigration Services 'Could Make A Case'

Bieber’s immigration status won’t be in the hands of any judge or jury. It will be up to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which could find that this latest incident – in conjunction with the alleged egging – is sufficient grounds for deportation.

“If ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) wanted to go after him, they could make a case," Michael Wildes, an NYC immigration attorney, told ABC News. "That and the eggs is opening files in multiple government agencies and states, and could make it more likely."

"DUI and drag racing are not crimes involving moral turpitude. If every week something else happens, the government will look at it,” Wildes continued, adding, “The young man is an extraordinary talent, and he's a teenager. "The government may be waiting for his conduct and maturity to catch up with his talent."

Bieber's Wealth Could Save Him

Bieber’s status as a global pop star with millions to his name will likely help him maintain his Visa status in the United States, according to immigration experts.

"He's in a better position than a lot of folks," Kamal Essaheb, an immigration policy attorney at the National Immigration Law Center, told US News. Marshall Fitz, the director of immigration policy at the Center for American Progress, added, "There will be political considerations in deporting someone of that stature. They're not going to treat him the same."

For those who feel strongly about Bieber’s deportation, there’s a White House Petition to sign: “We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.”

If the petition receives 100,000 signatures before Feb. 22, President Barack Obama will have to make a public argument against the deportation of Justin Bieber.
