Hispanic Nashville - oung Hispanic mother taken from family because of drivers license - Tennessee

“After she arrived at the Metro General Sessions traffic court for driving without a license, Claudia Nunez was jailed and told she would be deported for an immigration violation, according to this report in the Nashville Scene two weeks ago. At the time of the story in the Scene, Nunez had already spent two weeks in jail, separated from her husband and her two daughters, 4 and 8, one of whom is developmentally disabled.

Nunez’s presence in the U.S. is not authorized by the federal government, but it’s not because she is a danger to anyone around her or because she has committed a crime. It’s because after she entered the country legally over five years ago, she stayed past her visa date.”
