Out In The Bay: The Immigration Front

Judy Rickard, right, and her British wife, Karin, left.

Apart," a chronicle of over 20 couples struggling with this punishing policy, 
and Lavi Soloway, attorney for many of the cases being challenged. Find out more at:  http://www.stopthedeportations.com/blog/
