WASHINGTON (AP) — A Supreme Court justice is refusing to block the deportation of an immigrant in the Cincinnati area who has been helping care for a disabled child.
Justice Elena Kagan last week denied an emergency appeal from 27-year-old Yancarlos Mendez without comment.
Mendez says in court papers that he has been in the U.S. since 2015 and was picked up by immigration officers in late November after he was convicted for driving without a license.
Mendez says he has provided financial and emotional support to a 6-year-old boy who was paralyzed below the waist in an accident. Mendez recently married the boy’s mother in a jailhouse wedding.
Mendez says he is a citizen of the Dominican Republic and Spain.
