Melanie Caruso - Artesia, California

My husband was taken into the custody of ICE in December 2008 and was in jail for almost 2 months before being deported to Argentina. He came here legally in 1994 and was misrepresented in court and ordered deported. He did not leave but instead started a case with a new lawyer to try to undo what the first lawyer did.  We met in 2004 and we have two children together that are now 3 and 4 years old. They scream out in the night for their father.  My husband has doesn’t have a criminal record, he paid taxes, he had health , dental and life insurance. He had a wonderful job.  We lost our first home that we purchased, our jobs, our cars…everything.  My children and I moved to Argentina but the poverty was so great that my husband unselfishly sent us back to live with my family.  He has a 10-year bar and we are trying to get that waived.
