So many deportation cases in the news lately
I do not know whether there has been an increase in deportations recently, or whether it has finally reached the point where people are starting to pay attention to this great injustice. Deportations of adoptees is not a new phenomenon.
I need to keep track of some deportation situations that need cases set up here on PPL, so I making a list on this blog post.
Perhaps if anyone has information about these people, they will forward it to help.

Matthew Scherer
He is not a deportee even though he never gained US citizenship. He voluntarily travelled to Korea and while living gave up his green card. Therefore I don't think he qualifies as a deportation case.
re: Matthew Scherer
Thanks for the update on Matthew Scherer.
Is Matthew Scherer, is this the same person as "Matthew" and "Matthew Siller"? in the above articles?
Matthew Siller is definitely
Matthew Siller is definitely Matthew Scherer. I looked up the original text in Korean and discovered that the name Scherer was transcribed in a wrong way. Most probably the journalist didn't understand the name and just transcribed it this way.
Thank you
Thanks bear8
