NYT Feature on Immigrant Fighting Deportation for Crime Committed as a Teenager

The New York Times has an interesting story on Marco Flores, a man fighting his deportation while incarcerated in a prison outside of Boston, and now while in ICE detention in New Hampshire. He has lived in the United States since the age of six, but now faces possible deportation due to a guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter for killing a man who molested him. He was a teenager at the time and did not understand the immigration consequences. 

The article quotes retired Immigration Judge Dana Leigh Marks who recommends he applies for Convention Against Torture relief. It also cites to a Human Rights Watch report, Deported to Danger, that investigated the killings and torture of people deported to El Salvador from the United States
