Suspect in $100 Million Jewelry Heist Avoids Trial Through Deportation

A man accused of being involved in the largest jewelry heist in U.S. history, valued at $100 million, has been deported, effectively thwarting his trial. U.S. immigration authorities allowed the suspect to self-deport before he could stand trial, leading to widespread outrage among prosecutors and the community. The case against him, along with several co-conspirators from Southern California, has been halted, raising concerns over the handling of such high-profile criminal investigations by immigration officials.
