Gillette Seeks Bill to Save Iowa Youth From Deportation
Senator Guy M. Gillette announced plans to introduce legislation in the Senate to prevent 18-year-old Thomas Wuriu of Iowa City from being deported to Japan. Wuriu, born in Paris to a Japanese father and American mother, has lived in Iowa since childhood and has tied his life to the United States through schooling and a University of Iowa scholarship. Despite his mother’s citizenship and his American upbringing, current law leaves him subject to deportation.
