The US immigration and customs authority admitted that neither Nelson nor Gladys have a criminal history, but the couple had violated the immigration laws and had a final moving regulations.

“It breaks my heart because my parents are good people and they don't earn it,” said Stephanie Gonzalez, the couple's daughter.

According to Stephanie, her parents were arrested on February 21 during a routine check. It is expected to be deported by the end of the month.
