Suit Fights Deportation Using RFRA
KHOU News reports on a lawsuit filed Monday in a Texas federal district court which argues that deporting an El Salvadoran who has been in the United States illegally for over a decade would violate the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Juan Rodriguez's wife and three daughters are all U.S. citizens. The lawsuit alleges that Rodriguez's Seventh-Day Adventist beliefs requiring the family to stay together would be violated by his deportation.
