Father Jon Cortina

Susan Gzesh ifnormed the immigration law professors listserve of the sad news about the recent stroke suffered by Father Jon Cortina:

Many of us who have worked on issues related to El Salvador have gotten to know Father Jon Cortina over the years. He was the surviving Jesuit of the 1989 massacre, as he was away from the UCA when his brethren were killed by the Salvadoran military. He has worked tirelessly over the years on post-war justice issues, from litigation in the US against the Salvadoran generals to finding the “lost” Salvadoran children adopted outside the country. We just heard that Father Cortina has suffered a massive stroke and is in a coma. I thought there would be members of our network who know him and would want to hear this news, however sad.
