HOUSTON (AP) — A judge has ordered the U.S. government not to deport a Honduran woman without her 15-year-old daughter.

The two have been detained together for six months and fear being attacked if forced to return home.

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss issued the order Monday.

The mother and daughter are detained together in Dilley, Texas. While the teenager has a case for asylum pending, an immigration judge on Friday denied the mother’s request to reopen her immigration case.

The woman and teen say they came to the U.S. two years ago after gang members in Honduras held them at gunpoint and demanded they pay protection money.

Shalyn Fluharty, a lawyer for the two, says the teen has tried to take her own life at least once in detention.

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman declined comment.

Send them both back into the safety of their President's neighborhood.

We have gangs, violence, murder, rape and threats in our country.

GO HOME! DEPORT THE WHOLE FAMILY TOGETHER!

THERE IS VIOLENCE ALL OVER THE WORLD...WE CANNOT TAKE IN 2 BILLION PEOPLE ON THE PLANET!

Looking at this lawyers profile, she is definitely an immigration activist. The next step will be to get court rulings that in parents of either admitted children or US citizen children can't be deported. This is how these groups are working---they will take any thread of some judges ruling and tack some other demand on to it. The Supreme Court will be filled with immigration cases, deciding all of the nuances of lower court rulings.

Can't wait to get another Trum appointee on to the SCOTUS. The sad thing is that while liberal activists like Ruth Ginsburg will hang in there until their last breath, the GOP Congress men just retired en masse.
