In October, Paul John Bojerski, a 79-year-old grandfather who has been in the United States since he was five, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for not complying with a deportation order that was issued nearly 60 years ago. On Tuesday, a judge ordered Bojerski to remain in ICE detention as she considers the complications of the case.
Over the summer, Bojerski was told during a routine meeting with immigration officials that he must self-deport or face detention based on an unenforced deportation order issued in 1968, the Orlando Sentinel recently reported. But with no passport or country to return to, David Stoller, Bojerski's immigration attorney, says Bojerski has nowhere to go.
