Ecuadorean Dad Has Deportation Suspended After His Arrest During Pizza Delivery

A federal judge has suspended an undocumented Ecuadorean man’s deportation after he was detained and reported to immigration officials earlier this month while delivering pizza to a military base in New York City.

The temporary emergency stay was awarded to Pablo Villavicencio, 35, on Saturday with the help of attorneys with the Legal Aid Society, a law firm that aids low-income families and individuals.

The reprieve means Villavicencio, who is married to a U.S. citizen and has two young children, will remain at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in the U.S. until his case is adjudicated.

“They look different today and I’m happy for that,” Sandra Chica, Villavicencio’s wife, told the New York Daily News of her children on Sunday.
