His reward for being exonerated will probably be deportation unfortunately

For slander? I can't think of another cause of action.

The report actually says the police acted appropriately, so it supports the case that his civil rights have not been violated. Police raid people all the time without obtaining the evidence necessary to support certain criminal charges.

The stupid shit was Smith's press conference, not the raid and arrest itself. If he doesn't open his idiot mouth, then it's just a routine seizure of illegal firearms based on a tip and we never even knew this happened.

The problem is, this guy is not going to be in the country to pursue the case. I suspect that even if he had the means, he would want to keep a very low profile.

All we can do is just remember what assholes Stoney and Smith were about this and pressure the city to elect a competent police chief.
