Two brothers facing deportation to Colombia received some good news Wednesday. According to Cheryl Little, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center,Juan and Alex Gomez, along with their parents, have been granted an additional 30 day temporary deportation reprieve.[
The additional 30 day countdown begins on September 14th which means their deportation reprieve now expires on October 14th, according to Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's office.
"The Gomez brothers are now college students who are trying to finish their university degrees in a legal way and passage of the DREAM Act will allow them, and many others, to do so," wrote Ros-Lehtinen in a statement. "This time extension will allow them to lobby for more House and Senate co-sponsors for the bill and will grant additional time for their attorneys to prepare their legal case. We will use this time wisely to garner further support."
The brothers only had about a week left on their original 45 day temporary deportation reprieve.
