After living in the United States for 15 years, a West Valley City man was deported to Samoa on Tuesday, leaving his wife wondering how she came to be a single mother of four children under the age of 5.
Aufanua Manusina had just renewed his work permit in March. Officials called him back into the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements field office on Decker Lake Drive on June 20, supposedly to update some documents. An officer told his wife, Sauelelee that her husband would not be going home with her.
Three weeks later, on Aug. 1, he was deported to Western Samoa (commonly called Samoa), and she was left to take care of four young children in West Valley City.
