Really...Civil Rights Leader..
GTFO with this misleading shyt...he's an immigrant rights activist...
Second...he came to the USA with a green card at 17
The man has a coke trafficking conviction and had an 11 year sentence and was set up to be deported 7 years ago but he wasn't because of the Haitian earthquake...
Close Call for Jean Montrevil, Haitian Caught in an Immigration Web
Mr. Montrevil, a father of four, was 21 and a legal resident in 1990 when he was convicted of selling cocaine and began an 11-year prison sentence. After his release he became, by all accounts, a solid citizen. He married an American woman and now owns a van service in Brooklyn.
A law passed in 1996 made noncitizens convicted of felonies subject to deportation. Mr. Montrevil was ordered deported in 1994, while still in prison. After his release he became part of a supervised program for deportable immigrants. He had to check in with immigration agents regularly, and when he showed up for what he thought was a routine appearance on Dec. 30, he was detained and sent to York.
After federal officials announced that they were suspending deportations to Haiti because of the earthquake, Mr. Montrevil’s lawyer, Joshua E. Bardavid, said he began negotiating for his client’s release, arguing that since he was not a flight risk or dangerous to others, the law barred him from being held unless deportation was imminent.

If you want Black immigrants here for whatever reason, that's fine but tell the truth...the man should've been deported but the USA was like nah, Haiti just had an earthquake...and now....you know its over and they are sending him back....like he was supposed to be sent back in the first because he has a felony conviction...
And immigrant rights activist...doesn't equal civil rights leader...
Here are the interviews with him and shyt....
Can’t defend that.
