This week we’re talking about a pastor of a church in Florida who was deported earlier this month after living in the United States for more than twenty years. Many are not happy about the current administration’s efforts to deport those who are in the country illegally. The plight of this man and his family is being used by those who oppose the enforcement of immigration law to generate sympathy for their cause. But there are also some lessons to learn from this story that we’re going to consider in today’s episode.
STORY – Florida Pastor, Father of Five, Deported After Two Decades in the US
A preacher who led a small Hispanic church in Florida has been deported to Guatemala after two decades on American soil. The 42-year-old immigrant is married with five children.
Maurilio Ambrocio pastored the 50 members of Iglesia de Santidad Vida Nueva in Wimauma. He told the Tampa Bay Times he was one of the 100 Guatemalan immigrants deported from New Orleans through a charter flight after he was arrested in mid-April during a routine check-in at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Tampa.
Ambrocio, who entered the U.S. illegally after fleeing his home in Guatemala when he was just 15 years old, lived in Florida for more than 20 years. (Faithwire)
