We need to find out the status of his parents when he was born, raised and now. Were they ever in the country illegally? After visa expired etc?

FWIW, here’s some starting info for folks who are better researchers than I am:

Excerpt:
Gonzalo Paul Curiel (born 1953) is a United States District Judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.[1]
Early life and education
Curiel was born in East Chicago, Indiana,[2][3] the youngest of four children whose parents had immigrated into the United States from Mexico.[4][5][6] His parents were from Mascota, Mexico, which is a small town near Puerto Vallarta.[4] His father reportedly arrived in the U.S. after the Bracero Program was established in 1942, and became a legal resident by the time his mother arrived,[4] whereas a different report says both parents arrived in the 1920s.[7] Both his parents became American citizens.[1]
He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Indiana University in 1976 and his Juris Doctor from the Indiana University School of Law in 1979.[2][3][8]
Neither of those or any other general statements give the name of his parents.
The wiki mentioned they think father might have come to us

East Chicago is near Gary Steel Mills. No farms to pick.
I’ve reach a dead end on names and when they came. They could have been working on legal work visas but not be citizens. Did they overstay those visas? Why not list their names
The sources are curiously silent on this:
Indeed, what’s not in the public record is telling. Trump has publicly complained about Curiel since at least 2014, when one of his lawyers claimed Trump would ask Curiel to recuse himself based on his alleged (and unspecified) “animosity toward Mr. Trump and his views” after Curiel rejected his motion for dismissal. Almost two years later, no motion for recusal can be found on the docket of either case, then or now.
“First, pointing out a judge’s heritage when that heritage probably leads to bias, especially against Trump because of Trump’s commitment to build a wall on the Mexican border, would seem neither negative nor dumb. Second, Trump’s concern that this judge is an activist, as are so many ethnic legal professionals, is not racist.”
