Pablo Villavicencio and Jersey Lockup

u.s: Tuesday, according to The Chronicle Herald. He was greeted with hugs from his jubilant wife and two young daughters. Pablo Villavicencio exited the detention centre shortly before 9 p.m. He thanked supporters and the media before being whisked away in an SUV. U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty said Villavicencio, who was being held at a New Jersey lockup, can remain in the United States while he exhausts his right to try to gain legal status. Villavicencio applied to stay in the U.S. after he married a U.S. citizen, with whom he has two young girls. Although he stayed in the United States unlawfully and is currently subject to a final order of removal, he has otherwise been a model citizen, the judge wrote. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
