A Colorado man whose legal case attracted national attention before he was deported to Mexico was allowed back into the U.S. in October and is now one step closer to gaining legal residency.
he was deported to MexicoJorge Zaldivar Mendieta, 47, flew back to Colorado from Mexico on humanitarian parole on Oct. 13 for an appeal hearing on his deportation case. The hearing is scheduled for Dec. 7, but this week, his attorney, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement filed a motion together asking a judge to allow him to stay.
But his wife, Christina Zaldivar, won’t breathe a sigh of relief until the case is resolved and her husband can get his green card. On Oct. 11, she said she got an email saying his return to the U.S. was approved, but he had to arrive between Oct. 12 and 14. On the 13th, he landed in Denver.“It’s kind of bittersweet,” Zaldivar said. “It’s just like that, a flip of a switch. They decided to take him. And then two years, eight months later, they’re like, OK, we’re going to give him back.
“The vast majority of people in deportation proceedings live in mixed-status families and face a similar web of really difficult choices where there’s no straightforward, guaranteed path that puts that person into permanent residency and citizenship. … Our system is never as simple and straightforward as we would like to believe it is,” said Jennifer Piper of the American Friends Service Committee.
