GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - A Gwinnett County man released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody to help care for his medically-challenged child does not have the OK to stay.
He's now being told to leave the country on his own or be picked up again.
Channel 2’s Tony Thomas first brought the story to officials in March, which then the 44-year-old father was immediately released from ICE custody.
The family thought he'd be able to stay and help care for his daughter, but now the family said they're being told he must leave by June 20.
“If I decide I don’t do that, they are going to take me from my house, from my apartment. It's not good decision for me and my family,” Juan Carlos Paez said using a translator.
Paez said he doesn't want to hide from authorities, but he's not sure how he will be able to follow their orders, and make sure his wife and children, especially medically fragile daughter Naylea, survive.
“They asked him to buy airplane tickets to go out to Mexico,” Paez said using a translator.
The family said Naylea has Proteus Syndrome. She can't walk, talk or feed herself. And they insist the medical care she needs isn’t available in Mexico. And her mother can't support herself and care for Naylea alone.
“We are here asking for help, asking for mercy,” the mother said using a translator.
The family came to congressman Robert Woodall’s Gwinnett district office Thursday, hoping the representative's aides could help pressure immigration officials.
But they hit a snag when they realized they actually live in congressman Hank Johnson's district.
Woodall’s staff emailed saying they referred the case to Johnson's office and said “our goal is to make sure that federal agencies and regulations are working for congressman Woodall’s constituents and not against them."
“I want the best for them. If I have to go I have to go,” Paez said using a translator.
ICE had previously had Paez under a deportation order after he was arrested for driving without a license, but that order was in effect suspended for several years.
God only knows how many billions of dollars we’re already spending on illegal cases like this every year.
“I want the best for them...”
Yeah, that’s not our problem, not our duty - tell your own F’ing country you want the best for them.
I hope those criminals will stay together as a family. I’m sure Mexico will give them the care they deserve once they all go home. The sooner, the better. Deport all illegals. No exceptions.
Cue that “Awww” sound from sad moments on 80s sitcoms.
Go to CUBA.
I’m with you. I can see both sides to this. There is a moral problem with both of the obvious options.
But what I resent even more than this illegal moocher are the media/liberal manipulators who trot out the most heart-wrenching example they can find and then pretend it is representative of every illegal situation and that any conservative backlash is representative of every conservative reaction.
The liberals created this problem and now they want to paint conservatives as the bad guys when they react to the disaster that the liberals created.
They should apply to get the superior medical care that Cuba provides.
“Missing from their reporting will be all reference to any MS13 gang members being deported.”
Oh they’ll discuss that too. They say, and I have read this myself I’m not making it up, that these gang bangers should be repatriated to their home countries because they learned how to be criminals here in the US and it is wrong to foist that bad behaviour back on El Salvador or wherever.
As Jean Kirkpatrick so rightly said: THEY ALWAYS BLAME AMERICA FIRST.
Gwinnett Medical Center seems to be inundated with immigrants (I’ve worked there before). They come through the ER and get hemodialysis.
the only benefit illegals should get is emergency care enough to get them back to their shithole.
Healthcare in Mexico is cheap and good. Approximately half what it costs here. What this family does not want to give up here is likely the EBT card and totally free care under Medicaid.
Mexico has free health care for renters. Contrary to the picture the Dems want people to believe, Mexico is not a nation of mud huts. Mexico City has some great hospitals with talented doctors.
I know an ER nurse at that Grady of Gwinnett hospital and the stories she tells are horrendous.
NE GA Medical system is the best in North GA and took great care of my wife for years before she just recently passed away from cancer.

Out...get OUT!!! Seize their ill-gotten assets to defer the costs of kicking them out.
