South Carolina Immigration Case Tests New Deportation Policy
The case of an undocumented Mexican in South Carolina who is fighting deportation with support from U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) will put the validity of the authorities' new discretionary policy to the test.The fate of Gabino Sánchez, 27, will be decided Tuesday at an immigration court in Charlotte, and for Gutierrez it will shine a light on whether the Immigration and Customs Enforcement memorandum giving priority to expelling undocumented criminals "carries any weight."
"Gabino is an example of an immigrant who should not be deported," the congressman told Efe.
"If the Obama administration is serious about applying the policy of executive discretion, it should close the case of this immigrant," he said.
