A federal judge in Detroit ruled today that Yousef Ajin, a father of four who was detained during a routine check-in with immigration officials last week, may stay in the country.
During the hearing, hundreds of people rallied outside the Patrick V. McNamara Federal Building in downtown Detroit in support of Ajin, a Muslim who has been in the country for 18 years and has been working on gaining citizenship.
Judge David Paruch said it would create an extreme hardship on the family if Ajin was deported. He is married with four children, one of whom has special needs. They live in Ann Arbor.
