Now de Anda<strong> </strong>has embarked on a long-shot legal strategy of bringing the boy’s recently-deported<strong> </strong>father, David Xol, back to the United States and having him turn himself in at the border.</p> <p dir="ltr">Xol lives with his wife, Florinda, and their two other sons in San Miguel Limón, a mountain village in Guatemala more than 1,000 miles from Houston. De Anda said immigration<strong> </strong>officials deported the father without giving him time to litigate his asylum<b> </b>case.</p> <p dir="ltr">Rather than seeking to have Byron returned to Guatemala, de Anda said he plans<strong> </strong>to argue that the boy and his family face imminent danger in Guatemala because of gang threats that he says are religiously motivated.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I don’t believe it’s safe for the child to go back, so it’s not in his best interest to be deported,” de Anda said.</p> <p dir="ltr">David Xol said in a phone interview he faces persecution from gang members because he is an Evangelical Christian and his religion prohibits him from engaging in illegal activity. He said church members are targeted by gangs because they<strong> </strong>preach to the youth not to join in the criminal activity, which angers the gangs.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I try not to go out of my house as much or to the town so that I don’t encounter them,” Xol said. “My religion prohibits me from doing the things that they like to do.”</p> <div class="plugin-ad plugin"> <div class="plugin-ad__inner"> <p class="plugin-ad__label">The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659/https://mediakit.texastribune.org/" ga-on="click" ga-event-category="Sponsorship" ga-event-action="sponsorship-intent" ga-event-label="Hum">Become one</a>.</p> <div class="plugin-ad__unit"> <div id="ad-unit-153433"></div> </div> </div> </div> <p dir="ltr">In a previous interview with the Tribune, Xol said he made the journey to the United States<strong> </strong>“to work, to give a better life to my sons in the future.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The federal government has made it more difficult for immigrants — particularly people from violence-torn Central American countries like Guatemala — to successfully claim asylum after Attorney General Jeff Sessions declared in June that domestic and gang violence were no longer valid grounds for claiming asylum in the United States.</p> <p dir="ltr">Immigration experts say de Anda's<strong> </strong>plan carries risks.</p> <p dir="ltr">Sarah Pierce, a policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington D.C. think tank, said it's likely that federal immigration officials will either quickly remove David<strong> </strong>Xol from the country again — without his son — or will decide that they're obligated to reunify him with his son under a federal class-action lawsuit overseen by U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw.</p> <aside class="plugin-newsletter plugin plugin--centered plugin--centered-narrow plugin--centered-padded print__hide"> <div class="plugin-newsletter__inner"> <form id="mailchimp-form-9eb53e440f" class="plugin-newsletter__form" ga-event-category="subscribe" ga-event-action="the brief" ga-event-label="story page"> <ol class="hidden"> <li> <input class="js-mailchimp-interest hidden" type="checkbox" name="9eb53e440f" value="" checked> </li> </ol> <h3 class="plugin-newsletter__header grid_separator--s"> <span class="plugin-newsletter__header-text">Stay informed with</span>  <figure class="plugin-newsletter__header-logo"> <img class="plugin-newsletter__header-img" src="/web/20180913131659im_/https://www.texastribune.org/static/promo/images/the-brief.723b5856318f.png" alt="The Brief"> </figure> </h3> <div class="plugin-newsletter__entry grid_separator js-mailchimp-input"> <input class="plugin-newsletter__input js-mailchimp-email" type="email" name="email" placeholder="Your email address" aria-label="Enter your email address to subscribe to The Brief" required> <input class="plugin-newsletter__submit button button--yellow js-mailchimp-submit" type="submit" value="Subscribe"> </div> <div class="plugin-newsletter__loader loading--xs grid_separator hidden" aria-hidden="true"></div> <div class="plugin-newsletter__result grid_separator js-mailchimp-response hidden"></div> <p class="plugin-newsletter__promo">Browse all newsletters at <a href="/web/20180913131659/https://www.texastribune.org/about/subscribe/">texastribune.org/subscribe</a>. </p> </form> </div> </aside> <p dir="ltr">The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit after a woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo and her daughter were separated while seeking asylum in the U.S. The mother and daughter were reunited in March, but the judge <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659/https://www.texastribune.org/2018/08/28/aclu-ice-still-detaining-some-asylum-seekers-no-reason/" target="_blank">continued the case</a> after the zero-tolerance policy began. De Anda said he believes David Xol's case should be added<b> </b>to the ongoing lawsuit, which claims the separations are unconstitutional.</p> <p dir="ltr">But Jodi Goodwin, an immigration attorney based<strong> </strong>in Harlingen, said relying on that lawsuit<strong> </strong>could be a gamble. Goodwin said in a case like this, the parent has already been separated from his son<strong> </strong>and deported, so his solo return to the U.S. border would likely not fall within the lawsuit<strong>'</strong>s<strong> </strong>parameters.</p> <p dir="ltr">De Anda says he's confident the strategy will work. Once David Xol arrives at the border, de Anda said he'll ask the government to lift Xol's prior deportation order, then seek to get him a “credible fear” interview so he can state his reason for seeking asylum.<strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">“I can guarantee that he will be reunified when he gets here,” the attorney said. “He is a member of the class of the litigation because he was separated from his child.”</p> <div class="plugin-ad plugin"> <div class="plugin-ad__inner"> <p class="plugin-ad__label">The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659/https://mediakit.texastribune.org/" ga-on="click" ga-event-category="Sponsorship" ga-event-action="sponsorship-intent" ga-event-label="Hum">Become one</a>.</p> <div class="plugin-ad__unit"> <div id="ad-unit-153435"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="plugin plugin--centered plugin--centered-full plugin--centered-narrow"> <figure itemprop="lead_art" class="image_default"> <noscript> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/lPSakUEGj7tos6sEmQtxCfEkSn8=/850x570/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg"> </noscript> <picture> <source media="(min-width: 1px)" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/DtQWUFflHOc8TMCoQpQ90WZSJu0=/1250x838/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg 1250w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/lPSakUEGj7tos6sEmQtxCfEkSn8=/850x570/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg 850w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/bb_OrQ01k7kWx3vmP9hcxIHSh7o=/650x436/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg 650w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/0huHmlA36z0jKSQQFWBWwsQ-b5c=/400x268/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg 400w" data-sizes="auto"> <img alt="Laredo attorney Ricardo de Anda is representing Byron and his father David Xol in their asylum cases. | De Anda Law Firm" class="js-lazy-image" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/xLIhEm8Qoo1HX9ykjcqVRzGuHDU=/100x67/smart/filters:quality(20)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/lPSakUEGj7tos6sEmQtxCfEkSn8=/850x570/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg" data-srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/lPSakUEGj7tos6sEmQtxCfEkSn8=/850x570/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg 850w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/DtQWUFflHOc8TMCoQpQ90WZSJu0=/1250x838/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg 1250w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/bb_OrQ01k7kWx3vmP9hcxIHSh7o=/650x436/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg 650w, https://web.archive.org/web/20180913131659im_/https://thumbnails.texastribune.org/0huHmlA36z0jKSQQFWBWwsQ-b5c=/400x268/smart/filters:quality(70)/https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/3d7ea0b58788213f9c082463c3add007/Ricardo_de_Anda_TT.jpg 400w" data-sizes="auto"> </picture> <figcaption class="image_default--caption"> Laredo attorney Ricardo de Anda is representing Byron and his father David Xol in their asylum cases. | De Anda Law Firm </figcaption> </figure> </div> <p dir="ltr">De Anda downplayed his no-show at<b> </b>the Sept. 4 hearing, but acknowledged that nobody at his firm called the 800 number the court system uses to post hearing information.
