A federal immigration judge has signed an order that allows Yoko Ono's former driver, who pleaded guilty to charges of trying to extort money from her, to leave the United States voluntarily rather than be deported.
Judge Alan A. Vomacka signed the order Wednesday for Koral Karsan, who has been in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security since his guilty plea in February, to return to his native Turkey without further legal proceedings.
The voluntary departure resulted from an agreement between Karsan's lawyer, Jonathan Avirom, and DHS attorney Victor Yee. Leaving voluntarily makes Karsan's re-entry into the United States less difficult than if he were deported.
