The U S government\u2019s efforts at planning to deport a 1-year old boy from Honduras has been put on the back burner, according to a report. The mother of the little child, who is a teenager herself has been allowed to stay back in the country and apply for permanent residence.<\/p>\n
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials had earlier strived to deport the little boy ever since he arrived in the U S last year with his 17-year old mother. Both mother and son were part of a huge group that was trying to come from Central America and cross into the U S border.<\/p>\n
It was reported last week that the ICE officers decided to keep the deportation on hold, this was stated by the little boy\u2019s lawyer, who said that the toddler would be allowed to apply for permanent residence in a few more years.<\/p>\n
“I am very happy that the government decided not to waste their resources prosecuting, pursuing a 1-year-old baby,” said the boy\u2019s lawyer. “This should have been a non-issue.”<\/p>\n
