“Dane was convicted of simple marijuana possession – a disorderly persons offense in New Jersey,” said Afia Yunus, a Marlton attorney representing Foster. “No criminal record for the past four years.”
Foster was not jailed for the marijuana possession charges, though he was fined, his attorney said.
ICE officials said any convictions, even old cases, mean Foster could lose his green card and face deportation.
“ICE conducts targeted immigration enforcement actions in compliance with federal law. Dane Foster, a Jamaican national, is subject to removal from the U.S. based on his criminal history. He has been entered into immigration proceedings with the Executive Office for Immigration Review,” ICE said in a statement.
