Eriksen, 32, is his family's breadwinner and was building them a home "with his bare hands" when he was detained on April 15 after he reportedly failed to file the immigration document "Form I-751" by a 2015 deadline.
Eriksen sought parole on humanitarian grounds, according to TV2. Savannah wrote in an update on the family's GoFundMe that Eriksen and his lawyers asked a judge to reopen his immigration case and to grant him bond.
