MCALLEN, Texas - A Texas mother deported to Mexico despite having legal permission since age 8 to stay in the U.S. has filed a lawsuit against the federal government after it notified her it would be terminating her permission because of "unauthorized travel" stemming from her deportation.

Jessica Trevio, 34, filed a lawsuit through her attorney this week asking a federal judge to intervene.

Trevio and her husband were arrested in December after federal agents followed them into a Home Depot parking lot in South Texas.
