From CBS News
A 5-year-old Guatemalan boy who was at risk of being deported without his mother will be allowed to stay in the U.S. while he awaits his court appearance for an asylum case.
Early in April, a judge had issued an order of deportation against Wanner Martinez for missing a court date neither his mother nor attorney was aware of. Lilian Martinez, 25, a native of Guatemala, and her son Wanner were separated under the Trump administration's now-defunct "zero tolerance" policy and reunited after spending two months apart in June 2018. Their asylum cases, however, were not linked together upon reunification, prompting the immigration court system to issue them separate court dates.
On Friday, after CBS News reported the family could be separated by the U.S. government for a second time, a judge granted an appeal filed by their attorney to reopen proceedings, halting Wanner's deportation and merging his case with that of his mother. According to court documents reviewed by CBS News, both Martinez and her son have to appear before Houston's immigration court on August 5.
COMMENT:-
From the point of "The Rule of Law" this is a VERY sound ruling and one taken in an appropriate length of time.
From another point of view this is an activist judge promoting open borders by allowing criminals, rapists, gang members, and drug dealers to flood into the country.
One of those two points of view is rational. Can you guess which one it is?
