"Debate Over Deportation for Man Who Killed Abuser in His Teens"

Marco Flores, who killed his molester at age 17 and served 13 years in a Massachusetts prison, is facing deportation to El Salvador upon release, despite having lived in the U.S. since he was 6. His case highlights the complexities of immigration law, especially for those with criminal convictions, amidst a political climate pushing for increased deportations. Flores's legal team is working pro bono to prevent his deportation, arguing that he may be eligible for relief as a victim of certain crimes and that he faces a high risk of torture if returned to El Salvador. Flores's future in the U.S. remains uncertain as he awaits a new hearing date while in ICE custody.
