Subramanyam Vedam, 64, was recently exonerated for murder after being sentenced to life in prison in 1983

A Pennsylvania man who was recently exonerated after spending more than four decades behind bars has now been taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) and faces possible deportation to India.

Earlier this month, Centre county’s district attorney dismissed murder charges against 64-year-old Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam. However, shortly after his exoneration, Vedam was detained by ICE based on a 1988 deportation order tied to his now-vacated convictions.

          One can alter their consciousness or perception thereof. That doesn’t release them from their responsibilities.

          You’re flailing.

          Crack is not the only “drug” in the world.

          And by the way, if we’re going to make drugs illegal in the way you want it, let’s start with alcohol and nicotine, the worst of them all.

          That’s been tried before, by the way. It didn’t go very well.
