FILE - In this Aug. 15, 2012 file photo, young immigrant Erika Andiola, of Mesa, Ariz., poses for a portrait at a site where people line up to get guidance on a new federal program, called Deferred Action, that would help them avoid deportation in Phoenix, Arizona. The mother and a brother of Andiola were arrested Thursday evening, Jan. 10, 2013 at the family's Phoenix-area home. Andiola says ICE agents said there was a long-pending deportation order for her mother. The brother was released early Friday, Jan. 11, 2013, while the mother was transported to an immigration detention center in Florence. Another brother says the family has been told by the Mexican consulate in Mexico that the mother would be released after being returned to Phoenix. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)
