Lennon and Ono



Lennon revealed a rebellius nature and acerbic wit in his music, he was also very controversial because of his peace activism. He was critical of the Vietnam war, and he had a lot of problems with Richard Nixon's administration therefore they tried to have him deported.
Lennon spend for three years out of deportation hearing until on 8 October 1975.
But the courts would not condone selective deportation based upon secret political grounds. Therefore he stayed in the United States.
In 1975 Lennon was ordered to leave the US within 60 days.
Lennon and his wife Ono held a press conference at the  New York city Bar Association, they announced the formation of the state of NUTOPIA. This is a place where people exist not paper than mark divisions.
In 1976 his U.S inmigration status finally resolved.
