Lipinski Stops Deportation for Corina Turcinovic
Works with Bipartisan Group to Gain Release

[22-01-2008] Today, Congressman Dan Lipinski successfully secured a stay of deportation and a release from jail for Corina Turcinovic. Mrs. Turcinovic, a French national, was on her way to the airport when ICE responded to the congressional request from the House Immigration Subcommittee.

"Today, injustice was narrowly averted when the car carrying Corina Turcinovic to the airport was turned around," said Rep. Lipinski. "I am greatly relieved that I was able to get Democrats and Republicans on the House Immigration Subcommittee to join me in working to delay the deportation and allow Corina to return home while her case is considered."

Just one small problem. There have been hundreds of bills to "save" someone from deportation on humanitarian grounds. They languish in committee and eventually the people get deported anyway.
