Lawsuit protesting deportations that split families allowed to progress – Miami
Tagged: children, deportation, Florida, judge, Miami, parents, Pew Hispanic, protestPosted on: January 2nd, 2007“A South Florida lawsuit that seeks to temporarily block deportations of immigrants with children who are U.S. citizens was allowed to go forward Friday.
The lawsuit argues that U.S.-born children are deprived of their civil rights when authorities send their undocumented parents to their home countries. The Pew Hispanic Center estimates there are 3.1 million children in that situation nationally.
Although U.S. District Judge Paul Huck dismissed the original complaint, he gave lawyers until Jan. 16 to fine-tune their case and resubmit it.”
