Jose Escobar, 31
Deported: 2 March, from Houston, Texas
Jose Escobar, from El Salvador,
has a son, Walter, & a wife
Rose Marie Ascencio-Escobar,
a U.S. citizen,
now home alone
in South Houston,
Jose Escobar moved to the US legally
from El Salvador with his mother
when he was 15,
and both qualified
for protected status.
His mother erred in filing
renewal paperwork when he
was still a teenager,
his protected status lapsed.
Mr Escobar spent years trying to
sort out his status and received
a stay of deportation
from a judge in 2012.
But with Trump
the deportation process
started up again
& he was detained
at his check-in with Ice
& flown to San Salvador.
His family is devastated.
"I'm begging President Donald Trump to look
into my case and see if my husband is really
destroying America,"
his wife told reporters.
