Central Minn. farm worker from Guatemala makes his case to stay in U.S.
By Celeste Edenloff on Nov 10, 2017 at 8:41 a.m.

ST. PAUL—Wearing tan pants and a dark-colored sweatshirt with shackles on his hands and feet, a teary-eyed Julio Estrada Escobar admitted that he's made mistakes but he wants a different life for his children.

"They need to be raised and taught good moral values," Escobar said, glancing a look at his two children, Julio, 13, and Candis, 11. "I want to teach them to be good."

Escobar, who lives in Evansville in central Minnesota with his wife and two children, is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in July after he was pulled over in Otter Tail County.
