    Apolinar Sanchez Cornejo, an undocumented immigrant in his late 60s, was getting into his car one September morning in 2015 when U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers pulled up and surrounded him. When the officers demanded to question him, he gave in — and was put under arrest, swiftly shuffled into deportation proceedings.

    Cornejo had lived in Los Angeles since 1992. He had a prior deportation order but had committed no other crimes, says his granddaughter, East Bay resident Yadira Sanchez.
