Govt seeks deportation of convicted businessman

Posted on Jan 24 2006

The government is seeking the deportation of a Korean businessman who was allegedly convicted of a felony and two traffic charges.

The Division of Immigration, through the Attorney General’s Office, alleged that Sang Kyu Lee is a deportable alien.

Superior Court Associate Judge David A. Wiseman ordered the 44-year-old Lee to appear in court on Feb. 23 at 1:30pm and explain why he should not be deported from the Commonwealth.

Immigration inspector Colin R. Sablan stated in court papers that the respondent was issued a long-term business dependent entry permit that will expire on July 6, 2007.

Sablan said that on Dec. 18, 1995, the respondent was convicted of crime of criminal mischief, which is a felony.

He said Lee was also charged in 2001 and 2004 with traffic violations.

Lee was allegedly convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol and for reckless driving, both misdemeanors under the CNMI laws.

The records also show that the court convicted Lee of criminal mischief in December 1995.
