US EditionGladys and Nelson Gonzalez case spotlights wrong federal priorities in deportation cases
- In January, the Trump administration began, and the Department of Homeland Security released a statement with photos showing the arrest of a Haitian citizen convicted of multiple drug offenses.
- The statement boasted about taking immediate action to stop the invasion at the southern border and empower law enforcement to deport criminal aliens.
- Gladys and Nelson Gonzalez, a Colombian couple who entered the U.S. Without authorization in 1989, have been pursuing legal options to remain in the country for 36 years.
