Deported father pleads for right to live in US and watch his son grow up

A young father has described his torment at being torn from his son’s life after being deported from the US as an illegal immigrant.

Paul Ferguson, 28, says he is now forced to watch toddler Dylan grow up “on computer” during their weekly Skype sessions.

Paul, from Buncrana, Co Donegal, was expelled from San Francisco in 2011 when his only child was just six weeks old.
