I don't get it. Was he deported? Will he be? What's the deal?

One would assume that Oronia-Vera would be deported following completion of his jail sentence. Why would a Judge order 3 years supervised release? It makes no sense to keep an illegal alien in the United States simply to complete his probation.

This definitely makes no sense what so ever.You a can not supervise some one who was deported

Deport judge Jarvy with him so that he can supervise him.
