Teresa Giudice Vacations In Turks & Caicos Amid Husband’s Deportation Drama

Life hasn’t been easy for “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice in the last few years but the reality starlet took a much deserved vacation this week to Turks & Caicos…

The 46-year-old mother of four showed off her fit form in a bikini while vacationing this week in T&C with her oldest two daughters. She shared photos from her trip on Instagram.

Meanwhile Teresa’s husband, Joe Giudice is fighting to stay in the U.S. This October a judge ruled that Joe be deported to native Italy after finishing his 41-month prison sentence for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud. Giudice began his sentence in March 2016 and is scheduled for release next year.

According to PEOPLE reports:

Earlier this month, PEOPLE confirmed Joe had filed an appeal with an immigration court. His attorney James Leonard told PEOPLE at the time, “The appeal has been filed and we are optimistic that Joe will return home to his family where he belongs.”

Even though Joe has lived in the United States since he was a child, he never obtained American citizenship, and immigrants can be deported if they are convicted of “a crime of moral turpitude” or an “aggravated felony,” according to U.S. law.

Teresa also served a little over 11 months in prison for the same crimes and was released on Dec. 23, 2015. She recently opened up to PEOPLE about the strain Joe’s imprisonment has put on their marriage.

Hopefully Joe gets this deportation ruling reversed. Do you think he’ll be able to work it out?
