Adoption activist arrested for illegal re-entry
U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested Robin Neal Whiteley on a felony illegal re-entry charge over the weekend.
Court records filed in his case show 35-year-old Whiteley was caught near Hidalgo on February 18th.
Whiteley’s case has been profiled in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and other media outlets as an illustration of a Catch-22 between immigration and adoption laws.
The Star-Telegram reported that Whiteley was born in Mexico but adopted by a Fort Worth couple as a baby.
The newspaper reported Whiteley obtained legal residency and has two American-born children but was convicted in a felony drug case and deported to Mexico in 2002.
