the possibility of being deported
Is there any indication that ICE is moving to deport him? Or is this pure speculation coming out of the voter fraud charges, where he worked on behalf of Republicans to juice their numbers?
I’d predict he gets a presidential pardon before he gets deported.
Also appears to be old news, as he was indicted back in December. No indication to date that he’s been moved to a detention center or threatened with deportation.
@homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world provided a more in depth article: https://www.kcur.org/politics-elections-and-government/2025-11-29/coldwater-mayor-voter-fraud-deportation-ceballos-kansas-attorney-general
DHS said, if he’s found guilty, they’d start removal procedures. Of course, wouldn’t be out of character for them to do it, anyway, even if he’s not convicted.

Why wait? They’ve never dragged their heels like this before
If I were to wager a guess (and IANL, etc.), he’d need to’ve committed a crime since he has a permanent resident green card? Not that I wouldn’t put it past them to try it, anyway. Though it probably makes for a much more effective propaganda message of, “See; these people are illegally voting and that’s why we have to remove them,” (just don’t look to closely at who he’s been voting for).
Ultimately – though –, I dunno; I just know that’s what DHS said, according to the article.
Aaaarg the leopards!
so this is the voter fraud they were talking about?
no, seriously, how come this guy kept getting the chance to vote without being told they weren’t being counted? (I mean I assume they weren’t counted)
“His friends and high school teacher worry they’re partly to blame.” — They shouldn’t worry; they should accept that they are partly to blame.
On one hand I’m sympathetic to people who were misled about their citizenship status. On the other hand, he did vote to be deported
Ha ha ha ha ha, loser. Have the day you voted for.
A recent profile of Ceballos, published in The Wichita Eagle by Roy Wenzl, explained that the 54-year-old did not realize that his status as a Mexican immigrant made him ineligible to vote in any U.S. election, despite having been casting ballots since 1991.
ELI5: How is it possible to vote without being eligible to vote!?
It’s fucking Kansas. They didn’t bother checking.
20+ upvotes so far, without a single serious explanation of how someone who isn’t eligible to vote would be able to vote anyway. I call bullshit on that claim.
“What kind of America is it where government behavior would tear a good man away from his family, his community and his cattle, leaving no one here for them? It’s not the America I grew up in.”
The America this guy voted for. Hope he enjoys prison and Mexico, since that is what he has been voting for.
Lol who says he’s going back to Mexico and not el Salvador?
He can still love Trump from Mexico. Love knows no bounds.
unfortunately, many people do love him from outside the US
I hope they keep loving him from afar. We don’t need more pedo defenders here. Or more people encouraging fascism or religious rule.
Oh, no. Your country broadcast this nonsense. You infected these… individuals of limited wit and wisdom… with his cult rhetoric. You broke them, you bought them. /s
I would like a refund! I have the receipt.
The problem there is a lot of the lovers in other countries are trying to get their own Trump and spread the fascism.
They can have ours. Why settle for a cheap copy when you can have the original.
The Australian media are deeply in love with Trump.
schadenfreude
…I guess some illegal immigrants do vote after all.
Huh.
Eat shit, cunt
Mmmm. Yes. Give me more of this.
