U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein called Thursday for the federal government to reverse the deportation of an Oakland nurse and her husband, saying their removal after more than two decades in the country revealed the “cruel and arbitrary nature” of President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
Responding to a front-page Chronicle story about the couple — who plan to leave for Mexico on Tuesday with their 12-year-old son, while leaving behind three older daughters who have legal status — Feinstein’s office set up a meeting Thursday between the California Democrat and the family to discuss their plight.
“These are the kind of people we should welcome into the United States with open arms,” Feinstein said in a statement. “Tearing this family apart doesn’t make anyone safer, it only places incredible hardship on their three children who will remain behind, forced to navigate their lives without their parents.”
Feinstein said the forced removal of Maria Mendoza-Sanchez and Eusebio Sanchez despite their deep ties to the country and lack of a criminal record “exemplifies that it’s nearly impossible for undocumented immigrants to get right with the law when they want to do so.....

You can buy an airline ticket from Chicago to Mexico City for about $400, the same it costs me to go visit my grandchildren in another state.
Nobody cares, DiFi.
How about all those families that were ‘split’ by drunk driving illegal Mexicans?...........They will NEVER SEE THEIR LOVED ONES AGAIN. Period......................
Two Decades she has not done her job, and now it’s Trump’s fault? For two Decades she has ignored immigration, and suddenly she discovers compassion?!
Cold hearted witch...
Is this the illegal family with the 12 year old son who invented a cure for cancer and earned two Purple Hearts in the military, or is this some other illegal immigrant sob story. I cannot keep these stories straight.
Cry me a river. In over 20 years these squatters didn’t have the gumption to get their status legalized. What were they thinking….that Uncle Sap would just keep dishing out the goodies to people who had no business being here? They were almost right, but they finally ran out of mañanas.
Why don’t these people become citizens?? What a concept!
Di should buy plane tickets for the three daughters so the family can stay together.
isn’t she one those Senators who is too incompetent to change the law that Trump is enforcing? Ain’t life a bitch.
Exactly, I can’t believe how cruel those 3 older daughters are — why don’t they move to Mexico? Why are those three older daughters choosing to split up the family? What monsters they are!!
Don’t split them; deport them all.
BINGO-remember back when they used to let white-euro-type tribes into the USA? They got to say goodbye to family for FOREVER....
I was under the impression that this case came about long before the Trump admin.
they can all go with... nothing stopping them
I think what you mean is that for decades she has been in Congress and done nothing to change the laws that Trump is now enforcing. It’s her job to make the laws and Trump’s job to carry them out. If she has a complaint it’s about her not doing her own job while Trump is doing his.
If they family doesn't want to be split up, they can all leave. This is not the Soviet Union or North Korea where people were/are not allowed to leave.
After 20 years of being a parasite and I’m supposed to feel sorry for them?
F**K you Fineswine, I’d rather they just say thanks and GTFO of my country!
Send the little scumbag moochers with her. Just get 'em out.
