Meanwhile, another man acquitted in a high-profile terrorism case is facing deportation based on the same charges that a jury dismissed two months ago. Lyglenson Lemorin had been charged with six others in Miami for plotting terror attacks, but he was acquitted in December. Many legal experts criticized the government’s prosecution, because the case rested almost entirely on one suspect’s conversation with an FBI informant posing as a representative of al-Qaeda. The Bush administration is now asking an administrative judge to order Lemorin’s deportation based on the same charges that the jury dismissed. The thirty-three-year-old Lemorin moved to the US from Haiti as a child. He is now a legal US resident.
