NEW YORK - About 100 supporters, some holding signs and chanting "education, not deportation," rallied outside a federal building in Manhattan on Thursday as a New York state university student and her mother attended a hearing to fight deportation to their native Bangladesh.
Unless granted a reprieve by immigration officials, Nadia Habib will leave behind her husband and their three American-born children, reports WCBS-TV in New York.
"At this point, it would be a miracle right now," Habib, a Stony Brook University psychology and biology student who previously attended the prestigious Bronx High School of Science, told reporters. "Anything could happen when we go upstairs. ... I can't say I'm confident in anything."

I could see this deportation moving forward if this family had law breakers and habitual offenders of the system(much like Obammas uncle). But that is not the case here she is a student in very good standing and the father is here legally. Why doe the government go after easy prey like this instead of going after the problematic ones that stroll around here so freely?
