Gaby Pacheco claims that authorities seemed to be looking for her when they entered her family’s home in July 2006 and detained her parents and two sisters. Pacheco has a student visa and is studying special education at Miami Dade College, but the four family members are undocumented. They were detained for several hours and released, and have since been issued a notice to appear before an immigration judge. For a full news story, click here.
