Predecessor Hernandez: Administration and Arturo Hernandez

predecessor hernandez: His detention comes as the Trump administration charts a more aggressive approach to deportation than its predecessor, according to Metro News. Hernandez spent nine months living in the basement of Denver's First Unitarian Church starting in October of 2014 after the Obama administration tried to deport him. Arturo Hernandez has one daughter who is a U.S. citizen and a second protected from deportation under an Obama administration program for people brought to the country illegally as children. Hernandez came to the attention of immigration agents after being charged with assault for a workplace incident, even though he was acquitted at trial of criminal wrongdoing. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnoff noted in a statement that Hernandez has an active deportation order from that case. Hernandez left the church and resumed working after the Obama administration assured him his case would no longer be a deportation priority. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
