CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A woman whose American-born daughter was deported to Mexico with the father is suing the federal government for $5 million. Texas native Monica Castro accuses the U.S. Border Patrol of refusing to release her daughter to her when the girl's father was arrested in December 2003. Despite proving the child was born in the U.S., Castro says officials took the girl from Lubbock to the Texas-Mexico border. Castro did not find and regain custody of her daughter until three years later. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Corpus Christi is handling the case. They declined to comment. In court documents, the federal government contends the Border Patrol was acting within its discretion to allow a father to take his daughter to Mexico. The government also says it has sovereign immunity from Castro's suit. A federal court in Corpus Christi dismissed Castro's case last year. Attorneys from Texas RioGrande Legal Aid are appealing the dismissal to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

The sins of the father will be visited upon the children.... This is what happens when illegals whelp their offspring in America.
And thus the lawsuit will be dismissed....unless there is some other thing in the woodpile like a divorce action or a police report filed BEFORE the deportation that either should have been known or was brought to light somehow. A parent has the right to take the kid with him. That's how it is.
Elect a Real Hero! John McClane for President! Yippie Ki Yay!
The mom was awarded custody, and the BP stole her daughter? She should sue their asses off, and win.
Three cheers for Men's Rights!
The bleak truth is that, under normal conditions, most of North America and Europe are buried under about 1.5km of ice.
The illegals would not be here if there were not employers hiring them. I want to see those who employ illegals arrested, incarcerated and HEAVILY fined. Once a few hundred employers are sent to JAIL and BANKRUPTED by MASSIVE fines, the rest of the employers will get the message, and suddenly all of those illegals will find themselves unemployable, and will self-deport.
