An Orange County couple who came to the U.S. without authorization some 35 years ago, raised three daughters and now have a new grandson were deported to Colombia earlier this week, according to media reports.
Nelson Gonzalez, 59, and his wife Gladys Gonzalez, 55, originally entered the states near San Ysidro before ultimately settling in Laguna Niguel and starting their family.
While the couple tried numerous legal avenues to remain in the country over the years, including appeals to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Board of Immigration Appeals, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told The Orange County Register that the Gonzalez’s had “exhausted all legal options to remain in the U.S. between March 200 and August 2021,” and were ultimately in violation of immigration law.
Their three daughters, Gabby, 23, Jessica, 33, and Stephanie, 27, all U.S. citizens, told KTLA that they were devastated when they learned their parents had been detained on Feb. 21 during a regular check-in with U.S. immigration officials.

Bye bye. Those who plan on coming here and not committing crimes past the one you committed coming in—- we don’t want you either! Come here and this will hopefully happen to you!
An example should be made of them. It's the only way some people are going to learn.
Oh boo hoo to the nth degree; you broke the law, now you must pay! Better late than never!
In case people are wondering about the BACK STORY (what the media doesn’t bother to tell you), here it is:

Cry harder.
ZFG for them. They knew the rules, but their arrogant butts didn’t think the laws applied to them.
I robbed a bank 30 years ago why are you arresting me? If you cannot pay the penalty, don’t do the crime
Thanks for that.
They’ve received their reward..
GTFO
These so-called Catholic “charlies” need to be shut down and their leadership charged and tried for treason, aiding and abetting a foreign invasion, human trafficking and crimes against humanity. They should be publicly hanged for it.
Now we need a law removing the citizenship of all the anchor babies, and send them packing too.
Come on, Mid-Terms.
Cost of living ain't cheap in Laguna Niguel. They must have been fairly well-heeled before they sneaked over.
My eyes are dry. I cannot weep because I don’t want to. These moochers can go.
In 35 years they never made any attempt to legalize their status?
WHY would they have "regular check-ins" with US Immigration officials? That can't be common for illegals, who would avoid ICE. We are not getting the whole story.
My first thought.
Supposedly.
Why are their daughters considered citizens?
Focus on deporting Democrat supporters and felons.
Their progeny is in the door. Damage done.
