He finally called!!

Jose finally called today!  Thank GOD!  He didn't call yesterday for the very same reason I thought.  He's ok, he got to see the Dr. and got some meds and lotion,  Hopefully the infection will clear up soon.

On an other note...there was a memo sent out by ICE, it was announced at the AILA conference in San Diego, I've been keeping tabs via twitter and articles:

"In a fix likely to have broad practical effect, Mr. Morton issued a memorandum that greatly expanded the factors immigration authorities can take into account in deciding to defer or cancel deportations. Agents are now formally urged to consider how long an illegal immigrant has been in the United States, or whether the immigrant was brought here illegally as a child and is studying in high school or college.

In practice, the memorandum gives immigration agents authority to postpone or cancel, on a case by case basis, deportations of illegal immigrant students who might have been eligible for legal status under a bill stalled in Congress that is known as the Dream Act.

The authorities are also instructed to give “particular care and consideration” to veterans and active duty members of the military, especially if they have been in combat, and to their close relatives.

Mr. Morton also expanded the authority of federal lawyers who handle cases in immigration courts to dismiss deportation proceedings against immigrants without serious criminal records.
"


I just hope it means good news for us.
