Shirley Tan, who had received a temporary reprieve and was scheduled to be deported and separated from her partner of 23 years<\/a>, Jay Mercado, and their two children on April 22, was saved at the last minute by a private bill introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein [pictured], according to a message sent out by the family’s rep. Melanie Nathan:<\/p>\n

Today Senator Feinstein introduced a very rare private bill on behalf of Shirley Tan; Shirley will not have to leave the USA for now and hopefully never<\/a>. The essence of its introduction is that Tan does not have to leave the USA on May 10th, in terms of the voluntary order issued by DHS. This enables her to stay in the USA, legally, until the private bill passes (a rare occurrence)- and if it does not come up for a vote then she can stay for the duration of this Congress\u2019s session, which has approximately a year and nine months left. However Shirleys ultimate saviour will be UAFA [Uniting American Families Act] and nothing else<\/a>! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
