Isidora Lopez-Venegas is the mother of an autistic U.S. citizen son. She was arrested by Border Patrol and told — wrongly —that she could easily obtain legal status through her son once she was in Mexico. In fact, once outside the United States, she would have to wait approximately 10 years before returning home to California. But if she had seen an immigration judge, she could have presented her strong claims to stay. Instead Isidora, accompanied by her son, had to leave the United States. They were only able to return home after the ACLU filed a lawsuit.
