A young man who was deported to Honduras despite holding legal protection has been told he will be allowed to return to the United States, ending months of separation from his family. He even missed the birth of his son in Texas.
30-year-old Jose Contreras Diaz is now expected to travel back to Texas after immigration authorities informed him he would be granted parole to re-enter the country. The decision comes after his sudden deportation in January, which left him stranded in Honduras while his wife gave birth to their son, Mateo.
