Something doesn't seem right

He's a citizen. He probably can't be deported forcibly. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 06:01 8
- Something is very wrong when they forcibly take away a 7 month old infant from a mother -- nm - amoxy Jul 19, 06:02 7
  - It sounds like she was arrested and the kid went to family members before ending up with the American couple. - spamlet Jul 19, 06:04 6
    - This 2 year old article has the details -- (link) - Roger More Jul 19, 06:17
    - Like I said below...what if she didn't fight the deportation...I'd bet she and her son would be living together in Guatemala right now. -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 06:05 4
      - Her sentence for using a fake SSN was two years imprisonment, followed by deportation. I don't think she did fight the deportation -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 06:21 3
