PHOENIX (AP) - A judge on Thursday threw out the deportation case against four young people who were taking part in a high school science competition near the Canadian border when the government found out they were brought to the U.S. illegally as toddlers.
U.S. Immigration Judge John Richardson granted a request from the four to exclude key evidence in the case, ruling that agents questioned the students based on their Hispanic appearance.
Tim Counts, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said no decision has been made on whether to appeal.
