A longtime Princeton Township resident and his son — both alleged illegal immigrants — were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at their home early Thursday morning.

The arrested man’s wife is now attempting to fight deportation for herself and her family to their native Guatemala with the help of an attorney and support from local immigrant advocates and members of their church.

Javier Quiej, 39, and his son, Princeton High School graduate Javier Quiej Jr., 19, were arrested by an ICE fugitive team around 6 a.m. Thursday, according to ICE spokesman Michael Gilhooly. Both men had warrants of deportation, and both had been ordered to leave the country by Sept. 9, 1997 by an immigration judge, Mr. Gilhooly said.
