Tail Light: Immigration Status

tail light: Democratic U.S. Sen, according to Metro News. Richard Blumenthal announced Monday that the Board of Immigration Appeals is reopening the case of Luis Barrios, a married father of four who lives in Derby, Connecticut. A U.S. immigration board has reopened the asylum request of an immigrant from Guatemala who was nearly deported last month before being granted a reprieve. Barrios entered the U.S. illegally 25 years ago while fleeing violence in Guatemala. But his case remained pending until 2011, when his immigration status was flagged after a traffic stop for a broken tail light. A judge ordered him deported in 1998 when he said he missed an asylum hearing because he wasn't notified. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
