A Pastor Faces Deportation After Living In The US For More Than 20 Years

Sessions is pushing hard for stuff like this. I say he should resign. Or trump, the coward should fire him instead of cyberstalking him.

A Los Angeles pastor living in the US for more than 20 years and no apparent criminal history was detained by immigration officials Monday, sparking protests and rekindling fears that anyone without documentation now faces deportation.

The 42-year-old pastor, Noe Carias, is married to a US citizen and has two young US-born children, attorney Noemi Ramirez told the Los Angeles Times. The native Guatemalan was reportedly first deported in 1993 after crossing illegally into the US as a teenager. He then returned and ignored a second deportation order in 1995.

That removal order had been recently stayed under the Obama administration, which did not consider undocumented immigrants like Carias to be a priority for deportation. But that changed during a check-in with Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) on Monday.

"We got up at around 6 in the morning and we got ready with the kids and we were on our way here, and we were becoming really hopeful that everything was going to be fine, and unfortunately it wasn’t like that," his wife, Victoria Carias, told reporters outside. "They detained my husband today. It’s a really sad day for us today."................................
