Born a mile south of the U.S.-Mexico border in a nunneryin Nogales, Sonora, Alex Murillo came to Phoenix in 1978 as a baby in his mother s arms. But just after Christmas 2011, the U.S. Navy veteran was returned to Tijuana shackled at the wrists and ankles after serving 37 months for a cannabis bust. He thought that after he had done his time at California s Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution, he would go home to his two sons and two daughters, ages 5 to 14. Instead, he was processed for deportation directly from the prison, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has an on-site office.
The presidential pardon came after a secret campaign by rapper Snoop Dogg, according to a Newsmax report.
Snoop Dogg included Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and justice reform advocates to convince the outgoing president to make the move.
Reports said that White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has advised Trump against approving the pardon. However, Trump issued the pardon on his last full day in office.
Snoop Dogg rapped under Harris record label in the 1990s with other rappers like Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur.
