Nebraska Restaurateur Ordered Deported Despite Community Support

Despite significant community support, including 2,500 petition signers, the decision was based on Godinez's misdemeanor criminal record. Godinez, who has lived in the U.S. since age 10, expressed plans to rebuild his life in Guatemala, while his family and supporters expressed anxiety over the ruling.
