To President Obama: 'I Want My Mom Back'

Last November, Maria Guadalupe Zamudio, a Mexican national with temporary immigration status, was deported after trying to apply for permanent residency. She was banned from the U.S. for 10 to 20 years. Marias three children, aged nine to twelve, are all U.S. citizens. Last Thursday, they joined their aunt and uncle to make a twenty-hour drive from Worthington, Minnesota to Washington, D.C. Theyve each written letters to President Obama asking him to let their mother return. We speak to 12-year-old Gerardo Zamudio.
