What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I'm not sure if this is the right place to place this but here is goes....I have a friend who is 17 and 3 months pregnant she is from colombia, she came to this country at 12 years old by herself and has been living with her boyfriend for 4 years -he is 19. she was sent to flushing hospital because she passed out and now they don't want to release her because she is underage and illegal and they won't let her boyfriend come near her. he's been told that if he's seen around the hospital again they will have him arrested (he is also an immigrant here) The girl does not speak any english and hasnt been given an interpreter shes told me that she doesnt underdstand what they are telling her but that they seem to want her to agree on being transfer to a juvenile facility or they will deport her-as she doesnt have any real family in this country we have not been able to get any real info from the hospital...what can I do to help her? any advise?
