The only "crime" that is mentioned him entering the US illegally, a Kojima sheltered Japanese commentary on the US border policies, then they used him to smuggle braindead pregnant women.
Him and Lucy bonded over this, over his guilt.

Really, the whole DS2 plot is Kojima reacting to 2020 covid histeria and the 2020 US-Mexico border histeria.
APAS wanting everyone to stay in their pod and eat the bugs? "ZERO VOIDOUT" policy?
The people trying to control the whole world by avoiding travel and human contact?
Having Die Hardman saying that humans need human contact despite risks?
That's a commentary on covid policies.
Don't really try to make it deeper than it is. Kojima himself said covid made him rewrite DS2.
DS2 even has mentions of the Australian bushfires of 2020.
