Save The Juan Campaign Loses Bill On Capitol Hill

(CBS4) WASHINGTON One day after winning a 45-day temporary deportation reprieve for the Gomez family, the Save The Juan Campaign on Thursday did not succeed in getting a special bill before the House Subcommittee on Immigration.

Such a bill would have brought them closer to helping the Gomez' remain in the country.

On Thursday, the group, many of whom former classmates of Juan, were with Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen on the Capitol, continuing to lobby members of congress on Juan's behalf.

Earlier, it was not clear if Congress would vote on their private bill. Last session, more than 100 private bills were introduced into Congress. Not a single one passed.

The group will now convene to decide what their next step is.
