US twice tried to deport man killed by police in California

SAN DIEGO (AP) — U.S. authorities twice tried to deport a black man who was fatally shot by police in a San Diego suburb this week but his native Uganda refused to take him. [...] last year, he stopped reporting to immigration authorities as required under terms of his freedom and it's unclear whether the government made any attempt to find him. The nation's highest court said in the 5-4 decision that holding people indefinitely only because no country will take them violates the constitutional right to due process. "When you have a recalcitrant country who won't take that individual back — won't give permission to return them to their own country or denies their identity, denies that they're actually citizens of that country — ICE has no choice but to release those individuals," Sandweg said. Officers say he ignored repeated requests to raise his hands and was shot multiple times when he pulled what turned out to be a 4-inch electronic cigarette device from his pocket and pointed it at one officer while taking a "shooting stance."
