Abe Hamadeh's initial response to questions did not acknowledge his father overstayed a visa and faced a deportation order, among other omissions.
Newly obtained court records show Republican attorney general nominee Abe Hamadeh's father overstayed a visa by nearly seven years and was not in the country legally when the candidate was born.
The response did not acknowledge that his father overstayed a visa, faced an order of deportation and cited his American-born children as a reason to be allowed to remain in the United States. In 1996, after coming under scrutiny in a criminal investigation in which charges were dropped, the federal government issued an order of deportation for Hamadah. He was granted a stay and also sought relief under a section of immigration lawThat section was repealed the next year, according to longtime Phoenix immigration attorney Nicomedes Suriel.
The filing also said he had sought an application for labor certification,"which if approved, would pave the way for him to obtain permanent resident status in the United States." Trump also backs immigration policies that would have directly affected Hamadeh's family in the 1990s, including how his father's case was handled.In addition, Trump has advocated for withholding citizenship from children born in the U.S. if their parents were not here legally.
