This is a good ending or at least, a continuation, to the story I first posted on 12 February. DP

GRAND JUNCTION — Jose Mendoza Turbin walked into an immigration center Wednesday morning clutching a bag with two changes of clothes and a toothbrush. That was about all he brought when he came from El Salvador four years ago and all he planned to take with him if authorities sent him back.
But less than an hour later, the soft-spoken 21-year-old, who has become a cause celèbre in Glenwood Springs, walked back out. He was still shaking, but he was also grinning. Authorities had granted him a reprieve on his deportation while his appeal for legal status in this country is considered.
"What we got is a breather here," said his immigration attorney, Shelley Wittevrongel of Boulder, who accompanied Mendoza Turbin to his appearance at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.
Mendoza Turbin had been ordered to appear for deportation Wednesday. He remains under a deportation order but is free temporarily to return to Glenwood Springs until another deportation order comes through or until an appeals court or immigration authority decides he can stay.
Be sure to read the rest of this story! This is only a small part of it.
