Lennon was one of the Beatles, the English singing group so popular at the time. However, like so many others, he was outspoken against the Vietnam War and the treatment of the Chicago 7. The Nixon administration tried to have him deported, but failed due to adverse court hearings. However, the FBI assembled a huge file on him because of his anti administration views.

He retained his residency in the U. S. His child was born in America and he himself was assassinated in America.
