Biden appointee is protecting Prince Harry from being deported over drug use, new lawsuit claims
Joe Biden’s “arrogant” ambassador to the United Kingdom could be “protecting” Prince Harry from deportation, a bombshell new legal filing claims.
Conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation, is currently suing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for access to the royal’s visa documents to determine whether he made false statements about prior drug use.
Harry has admitted to experimenting with cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms — behavior he would have been required to disclose on application forms filed before he relocated to the United States in 2020.
The government warns immigrants that making misleading or false claims on government paperwork is grounds for deportation.
The Heritage Foundation is seeking the release of Harry’s documents, saying they are in the public interest.
Lawyers for the DHS have previously declared that releasing the paperwork would be “an unwarranted invasion of Prince Harry’s privacy.”
On Mar. 25, however, Jane Hartley, the US ambassador to the United Kingdom, told Sky News that Harry would not be booted from the country — even if he made a false declaration on his docs.
“It’s not gonna happen in the Biden administration,” she declared.
That remark prompted a new 100-page filing from The Heritage Foundation, accusing Hartley of protecting the prince, before again asserting that the visa application be made public.
“Hartley spoke directly not only to the Duke of Sussex’s current immigration status, but HRH’s [Harry’s] future immigration status as well,” the filing reads.
Nile Gardiner, Director of The Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, claimed that Hartley’s “arrogant remarks on Prince Harry are an extraordinary intervention by a senior US diplomat on an ongoing federal court case.”
“The Biden Administration has gone to great lengths to protect Prince Harry, and has even ruled out the possible deportation of the Duke of Sussex if he lied on his US immigration application and violated US immigration law,” Gardiner added, according to the Daily Mail.
District Judge Carl Nichols is currently presiding over the case, and recently requested to see Harry’s visa docs for himself to determine whether DHS was right to argue they are exempt from release.
Hartley’s comments come after Donald Trump told British TV that he could boot the prince from the country if he regains the presidency in November.
“We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action,” Trump declared about the DHS.
