CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WNCN) — Wildin David Guillen-Acosta, a Riverside High School graduate, appeared before a judge in Charlotte Tuesday morning to see if he would be deported back to Honduras. No decision was made and the case has been continued until Dec. 5.

The judge in the case approved Nardine Guirguis as Acosta’s new attorney. The continuance will give Guirguis time to look over the case.

DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) — Undocumented immigrants across the country are worried about their future in the United States and in Durham, one young man is fighting to stay in North Carolina.

Wildin David Guillen-Acosta, a Riverside High School graduate, is set to appear before a judge in Charlotte Tuesday morning at 8:30 to see if he will be deported back to Honduras.

Acosta was in Durham Tuesday morning before his hearing and spoke with CBS North Carolina, but did not want to go on camera.

At 17 years old, Acosta says he fled Honduras to escape gang violence and came to North Carolina. Friends and supporters say that if he’s sent back to Honduras that he could be killed.

“That’s the reason that he cannot go back so we are really worried about today what is gonna happen. He’s really nervous, he’s just thinking about his life right now [and] what is gonna happen,” said his friend Ivan Almonte.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Acosta in 2016 for missing a court appearance for being in the country illegally. He spent six months in a detention center in Georgia and is now out on bail.

CBS North Carolina spoke with a woman whose husband was in the same detention center in Georgia that Acosta was.

“I think what he’s doing is brave. I think what he stood up for in Honduras is brave and coming here is scary and brave and I’m completely against detention centers. I know what they can do. My husband was in a detention center,” one of Acosta’s supporters said.

Her husband was deported to Honduras in December.

Acosta and his supporters left for Charlotte around 6 a.m. If the judge rules against Acosta, he will have 30 days to appeal the decision.

Just dismiss your old lawyer and get another one right before your court date. That's a typical maneuver for acquiring a court continuance.

DURHAM The Charlotte Immigration Court has ordered former Riverside High School student Wildin Acosta deported, according to the Durham organization Alerta Migratoria NC.

The order came from Judge V. Stuart Couch, said Viridiana Martínez, director of Alerta Migratoria. Acosta will not be immediately deported, she said. He recently married his high school sweetheart, who has filed a petition for asylum. Acosta will be allowed to stay in Durham while a court is allowed to rule on the appeal based on her petition, she said.

Couch gave a continuance to Acosta in October. In October, a spokeswoman for Alerta Migratoria NC said the continuance would allow Acosta’s new lawyer, immigration attorney Nardine Guirguis, the appropriate amount of time to review Acosta’s case as needed to best represent the new client.Neither Acosta nor his attorney, his supporters or members of the media were present during the judge’s ruling, Martínez said. “Instead of waiting to give that decision in a transparent manner ... he didn’t do that,” she said.

Acosta maintains that he fears returning to his native Honduras because of rampant gang violence. “If I am deported, I know they would kill me,” Acosta said during an October interview.

As he left his home for school on Jan. 28, 2016, Acosta was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for being in the country illegally and missing a mandatory court appearance.

After spending more than six months in Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, he was released on $10,000 bail.

Acosta told immigration authorities he was fleeing gang violence in Honduras when he was stopped at the Texas border in 2014.

He attended a court hearing on Dec. 17, 2014, but failed to show up for one in March 2015.

Acosta’s arrest came as part of a nationwide campaign by ICE to locate and deport immigrants who had crossed the border illegally.
