What a messy case. Illegal alien decides to go home for good. Takes all his savings - $ 59K - in cash. Airport security spots the stacks of cash and confiscates it. Over 10K in cash and you need to report it so the government can check if you are laundering drug or other dirty money.
He decides to stay in US to fight for his money. Because he is illegal, courts say he should be deported. He wanted to anyways.
I say give him his money and send him on his way. Easier said than done. Been going on for over two years now.
