Tap title to read story
Donna Hughes-Brown, a 58-year-old Irish grandmother with a green card, faces deportation from the US after being detained in July for a decade-old $25 bad check. She's been held in a Kentucky detention center, sparking outrage from her US citizen husband, Jim Brown, a military veteran who regrets voting for Trump. The detention stems from a July 4th amendment to immigration legislation. Hughes-Brown, who has lived in the US since 1977, performed extensive volunteer work. Her husband claims the deportation is unjust and part of a quota system targeting legal immigrants.
