THE DEPORTATION of a Xiu Quin Yu, 39, was temporarily halted when a judge ordered authorities to release him.
Judge Analisa Torres stayed Yu's deportation to China and ordered his release from a New Jersey facility late Wednesday. He will be given the chance to have his case in front of a judge.
Yu reunited with in Flushing, New York City, with his wife, Yu Mei Chen, who is an American citizen, and his U.S.-born 6-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son.
Yu arrived in the U.S. in 2000. When his application for asylum was rejected, he was slapped with a final deportation order.
In 2015, he applied for permanent residency because he is married to an American citizen. When he and his wife showed up for an interview on May 23. Instead, after the interview, he was arrested by ICE agents.
“Today’s ruling is a sharp rebuke of ICE’s cruel and fanatical crusade to circumvent due process with the goal of tearing families apart,” Copeland said. “Mr. Yu has lived without incident in this country for years, establishing a family and building a successful small business. Taking that away from him is the antithesis of what America should aspire to stand for.”
