Shawn Sheikhan faces Deportation
- Shawn Sheikhan faces Deportation
Immigration Officials arrested Shawn Sheikhan on August 30, 2007 at his Las Vegas home according to a story by Lynnette Curtis in the Las Vegas Review Journal. He was held for more than a week before he posted $10,000 bond. Possible deportation is on the horizon for Sheikhan over his 1995 conviction on charges of sexual battery and annoyance or molestation of a child.
Federal authorities are looking to deport Sheikhan because of the misdemeanor conviction in California.
“This individual was targeted for ICE arrest because of his criminal history,” Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an e-mail message Wednesday. “ICE has an ongoing initiative called Operation Predator targeting individuals, including foreign nationals, who prey upon and sexually exploit children.”
“We want to see him removed from the United States,”

Sheikhan served 9 months in jail and 5 years probation following the conviction.

noah, thanks for the comment. It will be interesting to see if the Sheik has a lawyer that can keep him in the US. I was unaware of his prior conviction of a horrible offense in 1995. As far as his Poker I am not a fan of his behavior at the table. It is obviously his style and he believes it benefits his profitabilty. I can’t comment on his looks, have you seen my caricature, I am old, bald, glasses and besides I can’t play poker very well. again thanks for the comment and keep reading.
