Hugo Magna Mendoza, originally from El Salvador, was granted a temporary stay on Aug. 26 under the recently approved Parental Interests Directive, but still faces possible deportation.
Though members of the activist network Campaign for Citizenship are celebrating what they see as a temporary victory, they remain determined to free Magna, who is currently being held at Adelanto Detention Facility-East.
“Hugo has been a resident of Santa Ana for over a decade, working to support his family and community,” Campaign for Citizenship coordinators said in an Aug. 26 statement.

Nothing is "forcing" him to be separated from his three anchor baby children. They should all pack their bags and go back and be a legal happy family down South. If Dad gets his papers in order, and is able to return legally - welcome back.
