"Protesters and family of Miguel Lopez, a longtime Livermore resident deported to Mexico, on Thursday gathered outside a federal courthouse in San Francisco to rally to bring him back to the Tri-Valley. At least two dozen people showed up to chant Bring Miguel Home and Due Process For All, outside the courthouse at 450 Golden Gate Ave., not far from where Lopez was detained this past summer during an immigration status hearing by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
"For the past five months, Lopez has been separated from his family after the Department of Homeland Security deported him to Mexico in June, hours before a judge ordered the he be allowed to remain in the country. Dozens of would-be audience members for Lopez's case management conference in Judge Trina Thompson's court were turned away by U.S. Marshals stationed on the 19th floor, who told them the courtroom would be empty and they'd all have to see it online."
