SBU student, mom facing deportation, but not today

NEW YORK

Fellow students have been supporting 19-year-old /*Nadia Habib*/'s fight to stay in the U.S., and they rallied outside Federal Plaza in /*Manhattan*/ in hopes of keeping Habib and her mother in the country.

Habib was 20 months old when she moved to /*Queens*/ with her mother, but she just recently learned of her undocumented status.

Nadia's father has a green card, so he'll remain in this country, and her three siblings were born here, so they're citizens.

Nadia says she's being sent to a country where she doesn't even speak the language.
