Experts say Nora Sandigo’s bid to get the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the deportation of illegal immigrants with U.S.-born children hasn’t a prayer.

Sandigo just nods - she’s heard it all before.

Naysayers scoffed when the Miami immigration activist and former Contra rebel supporter pushed to stop the deportation of thousands of Central Americans immigrants who’d fled their region’s civil wars in the 1980s. Then Sandigo helped bring a class-action lawsuit for them, prompting Congress to pass a law protecting them in 1997. Experts said the same thing before she helped thousands more Central Americans win temporary protection after natural disasters struck several years later.”*
