Stefany Vega Duron v. Ron Johnson

REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:

*646 This case tells a story of America's treatment of immigrants but presents to this court only a question of jurisdiction. Children brought suit to halt the deportation of their father-a 20-year resident of this country, married father of five (four of whom are U.S. citizens), taxpayer with no criminal record, and valued member of his Mississippi community.
