Mid-Hudson News reports that immigration officials have detained Joel Guerrero of New Paltz because he missed a 2011 court date after a conviction for misdemeanor marijuana possession. Guerrero holds a green card, and is being held in a federal immigration detention facility in New Jersey, facing possible deportation. Guerrero legally immigrated from the Dominican Republic 20 years ago. His wife, Jessica, is from the Poughkeepsie-New Paltz area, and is six months pregnant with their first child. “If he voluntarily leaves, he won’t have the deportation on his record and we would have more options in terms of countries where we would be able to actually go,” she told Mid-Hudson News. “If this happens and he is deported, I will absolutely go with him. He is my husband. We are having a child together. This is my life. It’s not what I want but I couldn’t be apart from him.” Read the full story in the Mid-Hudson News.
