A lawsuit has been filed by a 34-year-old woman against the federal government. She claims her permission to stay in the US is being terminated due to circumstances beyond her control. The woman, who was brought to the country at a young age, is currently living in Mexico with her husband.

Her three children, who are US citizens, remain in the US, living with family near the border. The woman's attorney has asked a federal judge to intervene in the matter. Further details about the case are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
