George Pyle: A Father’s Day story about doing the right thing

Nelson Santos, of Stamford, Conn., hugs Catalina Horak, right, director of Building One Community, an immigrant support organization in Stamford, at a rally at the Federal Building Thursday, June 14, 2018, to announce that Santos has received a six-month deportation stay after being ordered to leave the country on Monday by ICE. Santos has Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and his kidneys do not function. He is scheduled for a kidney transplant later this summer. Unless his deportation is stopped, Nelson will be forced to forgo the life-saving transplant to return to a country he has not been to in three decades. Two of Santos' three children, Christian, 19, left, and Samantha Rosales, 14, second from left, accompanied their father to the rally Thursday. (Cloe Poisson /Hartford Courant via AP)
