Description

In 2010, Sotero Mendoza-Rivera, an undocumented farmworker drove with his girlfriend to their local Walmart in McMinnville, according to a police report. In addition to the pajamas, they purchased motor oil and brake fluid for their car. He was detained in August. His deportation case is now before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Child welfare officials said they worry an outcome for the federal government could have national implications for other immigrant parents with minor involvement in the juvenile justice system.
