This is also interesting. Looking for it on USCIS now.

So it is quite possible that his deportation is completely in line with the law. My guess, and I haven't read too in depth on this, is that his green card was up for renewal and he decided to apply for citizenship instead. However, conviction would not have led to deportation according to your link, it would've just been delayed until renewal.
