An immigration judge on Tuesday scrapped a deportation order filed against the wife of state Sen. Curt Thompson, allowing her to remain in the country.
Federal officials went into court Tuesday morning and supported Sascha Herrera Thompson's bid to block her deportation.
"Based on the unique facts of this case, we agreed not to appeal reopening the case," said Terry Bird, chief counsel for the Atlanta office of Immigration and Custom Enforcement.
Bird said that Judge William A. Cassidy expressed concern that Sascha Thompson's deportation appeared to be the result of bad paperwork filed by a notario. The judge urged that the notario be prosecuted, if possible.

Who appointed Cassidy?
That would explain a lot if we knew.
She should go through all the legal hoops no matter who she's married to.
My Japanese daughter-in-law was here legally as a university student until she graduated, at which time she honored her visa and went home. My son followed her, married her, and they went through all the legal steps for him to live in Japan while they went through all the legal steps for her to return to the US with him. They spent thousands of dollars for applications and attorney fees, several trips for interviews with rude Mexican INS employees, filled out pages and pages of legal paper work, and everything else required for her to be in the US legally. I have no sympathy what so ever for anyone who breaks our immigration laws, or any other laws. So you can take your bleeding heart and stuff it.
Thanks for posting a few facts....
