Deportation is indeed him getting off easy. No one died (mostly due to this being a kids' show and typically people don't die on-screen in those lol), but serious property damage was done. If an immigrant did that here in the US, folks would consider deportation a light sentence.

Also, don't forget that he used mind control to do it. That's a serious thing. He tried to frame an innocent being for the crime. Due to the fact that crimes have to be proven to have been committed by someone when they are of sound mind, if the prosecution fails to prove that mind control wasn't used, then a criminal can just get away scot-free. In other words, someone who uses mind control with malicious intent like him shouldn't be allowed to be free or else folks would claim they were controlled when they committed their crimes.

And he mentioned "I'll wait for you!", which implies they can meet again at some point, so it isn't that harsh from the get-go.

FYI, I didn't over-analyze this, it is just how the trope of mind control itself has been dissected over the years and all that. And I thought of Black Butler as Sebastian is likely the most competent servant character in recent pop culture (well, among groups that watch Japanese kids' shows, at least lol). If you are implying that I thought of it due to both groups here having BL undertones, you are also correct there lol.
