Francisco Cortez Lopez was able to walk free today and return to his family after immigration attorney Meredith Brown with the support of Congressman Adam Schiff and CHIRLA obtained a humanitarian parole by ICE.  Francisco and his family joined a press conference immediately after he was released.  He had been in Tijuana since November 15 after he was deported although he is undergoing dialysis treatment.  Below, pictures taken during press event.
