In January 2017, he was released under supervision. According to AZCentral, he possessed a green card at the time, which he renewed in 2007 and 2017.
He received a letter from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stating that the government would not deport him due to his conviction as part of his reintegration into society.
His first legal snag occurred in 2023 when US Customs officers revoked his green card when he returned to the nation with his American citizen wife, Tanisha Hartwell-Parris, after a vacation.
It’s unclear whether Parris’ past drug charges had anything to do with the cancellation of his green card.
On January 22, two days after President Donald Trump took office, he was detained by ICE while attempting to retrieve the paperwork with the help of an immigration lawyer.
He was arrested by ICE officers close to his Laveen home and sent to Florence Correctional Center, where he has been for more than four months.
