Lumpkin — Eynar Paredes-Corea has spent more than two months in detention in southwest Georgia, nearly 400 miles from his family in Charlotte, passing the long hours waiting to learn if he'll be deported to his homeland.
The 44-year-old Nicaraguan worries about his wife, a legal resident from El Salvador, and their three teenage children, who are U.S. citizens. He says his wife has had panic attacks since he was taken into federal custody. The carpenter is also distressed to hear that his children want to quit school to work and support the family. Paredes-Corea, who contends he ended up in custody after being falsely accused of assault, said he doesn't know the status of his case.
Martin Gongora-Flores, 33 and a Mexican native, ended up in deportation proceedings after he was put on probation for a DUI charge. His wife and baby, both U.S. citizens, are in Summerville, S.C. She has only been able to visit once since he arrived at Stewart in early April, Gongora-Flores said.
Yeah : )
Llorame un rio de lagrimas tristes.
