What I have found. His father came to East Chicago (apparently to work in the Gary Steel Mills during WWII) He may have been here legally but not a citizens.
His wife joined him at a later date no specific time given
Have not been able to find even their names.
Documentation needs to be found to determine if they did become citizens !
When? Did they overstay their work visas?
There is more to this....

We need to find out the status of his parents when he was born, raised and now. Were they ever in the country illegally? After visa expired etc?

FWIW, here’s some starting info for folks who are better researchers than I am:

https://ballotpedia.org/Gonzalo_Curiel

Also:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_P._Curiel

Excerpt:

Gonzalo Paul Curiel (born 1953) is a United States District Judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.[1]

Early life and education
Curiel was born in East Chicago, Indiana,[2][3] the youngest of four children whose parents had immigrated into the United States from Mexico.[4][5][6] His parents were from Mascota, Mexico, which is a small town near Puerto Vallarta.[4] His father reportedly arrived in the U.S. after the Bracero Program was established in 1942, and became a legal resident by the time his mother arrived,[4] whereas a different report says both parents arrived in the 1920s.[7] Both his parents became American citizens.[1]

He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Indiana University in 1976 and his Juris Doctor from the Indiana University School of Law in 1979.[2][3][8]

Neither of those or any other general statements give the name of his parents.
The wiki mentioned they think father might have come to us
Using
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracero_program

East Chicago is near Gary Steel Mills. No farms to pick.

I’ve reach a dead end on names and when they came. They could have been working on legal work visas but not be citizens. Did they overstay those visas? Why not list their names

The sources are curiously silent on this:

Indeed, what’s not in the public record is telling. Trump has publicly complained about Curiel since at least 2014, when one of his lawyers claimed Trump would ask Curiel to recuse himself based on his alleged (and unspecified) “animosity toward Mr. Trump and his views” after Curiel rejected his motion for dismissal. Almost two years later, no motion for recusal can be found on the docket of either case, then or now.

“First, pointing out a judge’s heritage when that heritage probably leads to bias, especially against Trump because of Trump’s commitment to build a wall on the Mexican border, would seem neither negative nor dumb. Second, Trump’s concern that this judge is an activist, as are so many ethnic legal professionals, is not racist.”

To add to your comments, the Judge was appointed by Obama .. which means this Judge will do whatsoever Obama has instructed him to do; or he would not have been appointed.

The fact he’s of Mexican descent is irrelevant.

BETS anyone on who will win the lawsuit ..?????

What is Mendacious and Hypocritical here is that if you listened to last few days on this controversy you would think no one has ever had issues with a judge before.

Since time immemorial groups and individuals have railed against a judge or judges in all sorts of cases, from Civil, Criminal, and Political.

How many times have political parties on both sides of the aisle had issues and problems with a judge or judges? Everyday and twice on Sunday.

So here we are in situation where a presidential candidate has a civil lawsuit going on and he feels that there is certain bias toward him because of his political stands, add to that the main plaintiff in the lawsuit withdrew and instead of dismissing the case the judge allows it to proceed through legal hocus pocus. So why wouldn’t Donald Trump feel that the Judge has made a a very real error. Add to that the judge’s membership in certain Hispanic organization’s that all but promote taking back over California and the Southwest for Mexico and there you have serious problems.

But in this Era of PC Mr. Trump is supposed to be quiet and let this all pass all in the name PC because the Republican Party is all about being PC and more PC, and has no spine at all. Sorry I think Mr. Trump is well within his rights to call a foul when he sees it.

Raul, Antonio, Gonzalo and Maria Curiel-Rybicki grew up in East Chicago, where their father was a steelworker. They all graduated from Bishop Noll.

Carolyn Curiel, a former ambassador to Belize and cousin to Gonzalo, said she’s meeting with him this week. She’s now executive director of the Purdue Institute for Civic Communication in West Lafayette.

Curiel said she grew up in East Chicago with Gonzalo and his siblings and they often celebrated Thanksgiving at each other’s homes. Their parents all grew up in Mascota, Mexico.

The steel mills of northwest Indiana had no harder worker than Salvador Curiel.
“He was one of these guys who never missed a day’s work,” his oldest son, Raul Curiel, told The Daily Beast this weekend.

Salvador Curiel originally arrived on his own from the small town of Moscota in Jalisco, Mexico. He joined a cousin in working in the mills, starting with the most difficult and dangerous tasks, but counting himself lucky.

“It was a very good job for any immigrant to have,” the son said.

The father went from U.S. Steel in Gary to Youngstown Sheet and Tub in East Chicago, where he settled down with a woman he had married on a return trip to his native town. Salvador and Francisca had four children, first a daughter, then three sons.

Many at Purdue know Carolyn Curiel as the executive director of the Purdue Institute for Civic Communication (PICC). But her students call her Ambassador—just a hint at all she has accomplished in journalism and public service. Curiel was an Emmy-nominated producer and writer for Ted Koppel at Nightline, head of the Caribbean Division for United Press International, and an editor at The Washington Post before serving as President Clinton’s senior speechwriter and later, Ambassador to Belize. She returned to media in 2002 as a member of The New York Times editorial board, directing the paper’s election endorsements before arriving at Purdue in 2008, where she is now a clinical professor in the Brian Lamb School of Communication.

Judge Curiel, 62, was born in East Chicago, Ind., to parents who had emigrated from Mexico. Raul Curiel said their father, Salvador, arrived in Arizona as a laborer in the 1920s, eventually receiving citizenship and becoming a steelworker. Their parents were married in Mexico in 1946, and their mother, Francisca, became a citizen after joining her husband in the United States.

A couple of the fox talking heads have tried to say he is no longer connected with SDLR
http://sdlrla.com/judiciary-reception-rsvp-today/

He is certainly still involved with the Legal group and I believe there is still a connection to the mother group

HER WORDS ARE PRESIDENTIAL
Post-Tribune (IN) - June 2, 1996s
Author/Byline: Derrick DePledge, Post-Tribune Washington Writer

After months of doubt over the Clinton administration’s loyalty to affirmative action, the president chose a hot summer day last July to make himself clear:

‘’When we allow people to pit us against one another or spend energy denying opportunity based on our differences, everyone is held back,’’ Clinton told an audience at the National Archives. ‘’But when we give all Americans a chance to develop and use their talents, to be full partners in our common enterprise, then everybody is pushed forward.’’

The inspiration came from Clinton, who saw the pain caused by racial discrimination as a young man in Arkansas. But many of the words were from Carolyn Curiel, a White House speechwriter who grew up one of seven children in a working-class, Latino family in Hammond.

It was no accident that Curiel was chosen as Clinton’s main collaborator for this sensitive address. Her passion for equality and grasp of domestic policy arose from work as a journalist for The Washington Post, The New York Times and ‘’Nightline.’

(snip)

As a young girl, she remembers going with her mother, Angelina, to distribute Democratic pamphlets in the blue-collar precincts of Northwest Indiana. Her father, Alejandro, was a steelworker at Inland Steel, which made his daughter eligible for a company scholarship that helped her study radio, television and film at Purdue University.

‘’The unions took care of my Dad. And the Democratic Party took care of the unions. There was a clear progression there for me,’’ said Curiel, whose parents still live in Hammond.

Curiel’s first job in journalism was at United Press International, with stints in Chicago, Washington and Puerto Rico. She also worked as a copy editor at the Post and a foreign editor at the Times before moving to ‘’Nightline’’ as a writer and producer for host Ted Koppel.

Her abrupt career change was made a bit easier after an experience at the White House on election night in 1992.

A friend in the Bush administration invited her over to watch the returns...

Trump is right to question the neutrality of a LaRaza judge.

Nothing could be more clear.
