Farmer And Leader In The Hawaiian Coffee Industry Is Being Deported

Andrés Magaña Ortiz, a coffee farmer and well-respected leader in Hawaii's coffee industry, is the latest victim of the Donald Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration in the United States.

Magaña Ortiz, 43, has lived in the States since he was brought in to the country at the age of 15 to be with his mother in California. After nearly three decades owning and overseeing coffee farms in Hawaii, along with aiding researchers at the University of Hawaii, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and locals in the fight against the coffee berry borer, he has been ordered to return to Mexico, HuffPost reported.

Fortunately, the coffee farmer has been granted a 30-day delay from the Department of Homeland Security and will have more time to spend with his family.

"Today's announcement is a positive step, but our work to keep Mr. Magaña Ortiz with his family isn't done yet," Sen. Mazie Hirono said in a statement.
