A 25-year-old woman who says her family moved to Detroit from Mexico City when she was 11 is looking to avoid deportation.

Leslie Hernandez tells Fox 2 that she has three children, ages 10, five and three, and was jailed for two and a half months while the U.S. Immigration and Customs department mulled sending her to Mexico.

Hernandez was released while her background was reviewed, but is still at risk of deportation, she says.

Fox 2: Should a mother of three with no criminal record who came to the U.S. as a child be deported? "We're trying to reopen the case," said immigration attorney George Mann. "If we got the case reopened, then she would have a right to apply for relief from deportation, but right now she has a valid order of deportation. They have the power to deport her."

]Hernandez has never been charged with a crime. She has a clean record. She pursued and achieved her GED high school equivalency in Detroit. She's an example of a new consideration the feds are including in decisions of deportation.

In the past, Metro Detroit has seen some varying cases of deportation, from a University of Detroit Mercy student brought into the U.S. from Albania at 11, to an 88-year-old Troy man who fought for the Nazis during World War II.

It's stated in the video that he too is an IA in deportation proceedings.

If illegals with "family" are not being deported, this would mean that anyone that had an anchor baby will be allowed to stay.
People that have turned having children into an industy for welfare income and to avoid the law are disgusting. JMO

She got here at the age of 11 and had her first baby at 15. Probably on the dole ever since.

The video mentions the father but not if they were married.
