The parents of Gabby Pacheco, 23, a Miami-Dade College student, say they were “selectively targeted” for deportation after Pacheco spoke out about rights for illegal immigrants. Pacheco is in the U.S. legally, but her parents and two adult sisters are in deportation proceedings because they overstayed their visas.
Attorney Geoffrey Hoffman filed the appeal Friday on behalf of the couple and their two older daughters. He said the case touches on several constitutional issues including Pacheco’s First Amendment right to freedom of expression and, more directly, the alleged violation of the family’s rights to due process and against unreasonable search and seizure.”*
