(10-25) 17:05 PDT MOUNTAIN VIEW -- A Mountain View woman who fled a violent husband and entered the United States illegally in 1995 faces imminent deportation to El Salvador, where her husband has been looking for her, her lawyer said Monday.
Irma Medrano, 44, is being held by immigration authorities at a jail in Yuba City (Sutter County) and could be deported as soon as today, said attorney Aubra Fletcher. She said the government has refused to delay Medrano's case to let her apply for political asylum and has disputed her claim that her life would be in danger in El Salvador.

Medrano said she left her homeland after years of abuse and settled in the Bay Area, where her sister, who had left El Salvador under similar circumstances, is now a U.S. citizen. Medrano left her two children with relatives in El Salvador and now has two more children, both U.S. citizens, with another man who was later deported.
She gained temporary legal status in 2001 when the United States granted refuge to Salvadorans because of an earthquake in their country. But her status was revoked because of two misdemeanor traffic convictions, for a hit-and-run causing property damage and driving without a license, and authorities moved to deport her in 2006.
Immigration courts rejected her claim for legal residence, saying she had not shown that her children would suffer extraordinary hardship if she were deported.
After learning that Medrano's husband has been looking for her, her new lawyers urged the immigration board to consider her application for asylum.
Medrano, who works at a supermarket in Mountain View, reported to a San Francisco immigration office Thursday for a routine weekly check-in and was taken into custody and transported to Yuba City to await deportation, Fletcher said.

She broke the law which doesn't make her a good candidate for citizenship. Why not deport her and make room for somebody that doesn't break the law.
Yesterday there was a sob story about a Jamaican who served in the U.S. military and was being deported. The Paul Harvey moment was that he was convicted of drug possession with intent to distribute and was given a dishonorable discharge. A DD is the equivalent of a felony conviction. That is grounds for deportation.
I’m not weeping over these people either. There’s a right path to citizenship and they didn’t take it—they climbed over the wall like burglars and didn’t knock on the front door like respectable people.
I don’t know why the Chronicle is running stories like this just days before the election. Read the comments following the article. People aren’t buying this sob story.
Abandoning kids: yes, it’s grim. There are more illegal alien men who abandon their families in their home countries and start new families here in the U.S., but every now and then you read about a woman who does the same thing.
Battered women should have to report to their local IHOP.
Yep...I guess this is a 'new' tactic that is going to be tried. A daily sob story about someone being deported. See, they're really just like you and me...well, that is if you leave that law breaking stuff out.
If the US granted asylum to everyone fearing violence in their homeland, we would be inundated with women from those countries where they do that mutilation thing. If it is not worth overthrowing the government over there that allows it, then it can’t be suitable grounds for letting them in here...
Good...when she’s deported, an American can get that job at the supermarket. Multiply this by millions, and a lot of our unemployment woes would be solved.
Take a look at this fraud: "Domestic violence victim granted asylum in US" Dec. 16, 2009.
After "suffering 10 years of extreme sexual, physical and mental abuse at the hands of her husband," Rody Alvarado fled her native Guatemala in 1995 and applied for "asylum" in the US.
After a torturous 14-year battle with federal officials over whether domestic violence qualifies for refugee status, an immigration judge granted Alvardo's application and she will remain permanently in the United States (sucking off taxpayers forever.)
Alvarado said in court papers her "physical, mental and sexual abuse" began soon after she married a former military man when she was 16. THIS GETS BETTER She was so "desperate and fearful" that she fled to Brownsville, Texas, without her children. She said she was stopped by a Border Patrol official but allowed to proceed after "promising to report to an immigration office."
NOW GET THIS She boarded a flight to San Francisco because it was the destination of other Guatemalans traveling with her. "She randomly met a native Guatemalan awaiting the arrival of her daughter-in-law. The woman invited Alvarado to spend the night, and she ended up staying with the family for two years." (Watta coincidence.)
UPSHOT The woman now gets SS checks, welfare, housing assistance, Medicaid, food stamps, blanketed w/ US govt benefits paid for by US taxpayers.......forever. Soon they will all be here. Hubby will "suddenly" become a loving spouse once the US tax dollars start rolling in. When the kids arrive, they'll get SSI for faking ADD. The husband and other relatives will get "injured"---in order to suck up SSI, as well.
ICE should send this phony back ASAP.

REFERENCE At a summit held last May, the Guatemalan AG for Human Rights said that 10% of Guatemala's population has relocated to the U S. About 60% currently in the US do not possess legal immigration documents. A 2005 study by the Intl Organization for Migration, says the Guatemalan population here in the US numbers 1,364,000 persons.
The study found that the vast majority of Guatemalan immigrants in the US send money back home, to the tune of $3.6 billion last year, alone. NOTE Do not forget, thousands of Guatemalans came here on ‘temporary status’ after some ‘natural disaster’. They didn’t go home, and neither will the millions of Haitians.
Once saw a guy wearing a T-shirt that read, “250,000 battered women in this country, and all this time I been eatin em raw”.
not our concern and throw the criminal out.
Excuses, excuses...

So? Proof we need to close our borders and keep the riff raff out.
“250,000 battered women in this country, and all this time I been eatin em raw”
ROFL!
” After a torturous 14-year battle with federal officials over whether domestic violence qualifies for refugee status, an immigration judge granted Alvardo’s application and she will remain permanently in the United States (sucking off taxpayers forever.) “
EXACTLY
Even worse, when they stopped supporting their wives & children south of the border (and often started a new family here) Mexico’s government asked the US govt. to get suppport payments for the first families. We can’t get taxes from them, but we’re going to collect Mexican alimony/child support?
Incredible.
Un-frickin-believable. Little by little, these backwater Third Worlds are dictating US govt policy.
REFERENCE Guatemala Protests Arrest of 3 in Florida Over Passports
January 26, 2010 | Julia Preston, New York Times
The Guatemalan government has issued a public protest after three Guatemalans were arrested this month by immigration agents at a Federal Express office in Florida, when one of the immigrants went to pick up a package containing his newly issued Guatemalan passport. Suspecting that the passport was fraudulent, Fedex officials called ICE agents to alert them when the Guatemalans arrived to collect the package...
Two of the Guatemalans were illegal immigrants who have been deported, and one is in deportation proceedings. Guatemalan diplomats said that Fedex and American officials had examined and seized legitimate passports without notifying them and had improperly disrupted their dealings with Guatemalan citizens living in this country. Felipe Alejos, the Guatemalan consul in Miami, said the events appeared to violate basic diplomatic protocols.
“They seized official documents, and they did not let us know,” Mr. Alejos said. “There was coordination between FedEx and ICE to detain people.” FedEx officials said they followed routine company procedures when they contacted immigration authorities after detecting packages that suggested organized document fraud. Officials ICE said they arrested the Guatemalans only after two of them tried to flee from the FedEx office. Both the company and the immigration agency denied that they had collaborated to lure the immigrants to the office....
THE SCAM EXPOSED The Guatemalan government prints and distributes passports for its citizens living in the United States through a private company, De La Luz, in Metairie, La. In December, the company sent the new passports in Federal Express packages to the Guatemalans who had applied for them. At least 30 packages could not be delivered to the addresses listed, said a Federal Express spokeswoman, Allison Sobczak, and the shipper in Louisiana did not respond to telephone calls. FedEx employees opened several packages searching for better address information, she said... (Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
