A Guatemalan illegal immigrant who crossed the U.S. border while eight months pregnant and gave birth in Arizona has bypassed fast-track deportation after the state’s governor intervened, her lawyer and a federal official said on May 3.
The woman, 24, had told her lawyer, Luis Campos, that she was set for rapid deportation after illegally entering the country. Campos alleged that federal agents had prevented him from seeing her in a Tucson, Arizona, hospital after she gave birth on April 30.
