THE GLADIATOR — Is He Removable?

Russell Crowe a/k/a THE GLADIATOR may be deportable after convicted of misdeamanor assault. He entered into a plea agreement with the Manhattan DA’s Office for hurling a phone at a Mercer Hotel clerk’s head. He’ll plead guilty to misdemeanor assault today and will receive no jail time or probation, according to the New York Post. The Post quoted a DHS official as stating that “Convictions involving moral turpitude can result in a review of immigration status. . . . [W]e’ll review it at that point, but we’re not focusing undue attention on his situation. We’ll deal with it appropriately – I don’t think we’re going to be waiting outside of the courthouse for him.” Crowe has reportedly said that he feels it might be time to leave the U.S. http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/57736.htm
