All applied for asylum in the early 1990s and were issued work permits and Social Security numbers.
Now, federal officials want to deport them and thousands of other Guatemalan refugees after finally denying their asylum claims. Authorities have determined there was no longer a threat because the Central American nations civil war had ended a decade ago.”
