Then she will return to Massachusetts and her case will be transferred back to Boston immigration court. It’s all part of what Pomerleau called the “unconstitutional merry-go-round.” Another of Ferreira’s attorneys said she just wants to be with her son. “She has established her entire life here in the United States since she has been a child,” attorney Jeffrey Rubin said. “She looks forward to reuniting with her son and getting back to her life as a hard-working business owner.” A DHS spokesperson previously told CNN that Ferreira was in the US illegally after overstaying a tourist visa that required her to leave the country in June 1999. Ferreira is “a criminal illegal alien from Brazil,” DHS said. Pomerleau said the DHS statement is inaccurate.
