Similar to your case, a very low misdemeanor. Bob Taft processed a pardon. However, because the individual was Muslim, the Bush administration was still able to deport him (he was a Green card holder).

Broadly, if we can't trust pardons, victim recantings, the verdict of the judicial system, how is there due process in the system? What an employer says? The INS overriding a pardon by a duly elected governor based on a recanting?

(I do have sympathy for your story and I believe you. I still believe there should be criminal intervention for minor offensive criminal contact for the cases that are true.)
