AceShowbiz - Being a part of popular rock band The Beatles doesn't mean John Lennon would be given special treatment when he and wife Yoko Ono were living in New York for a year. In March 1973, Lennon was issued an order by the U.S. Immigration authorities to leave the country due to his past conviction in England for possession of marijuana.
However, other sources claimed that it had something to do with President Richard Nixon's general fear of the singer, his political views and influence. Lennon previously performed at a rally for John Sinclair of White Panthers, who was serving a 10-year sentence for selling two marijuana cigarettes. John eventually won the case in an appeals court in 1975. The case was so popular that it was turned into a documentary film titled "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" which was released in 2006.
