Yader Salgado, a native of Nicaragua and sexton at Trinity Episcopal Church in Northport, went to school in Northport and returned to Nicaragua. He then as an adult was sponsored to come back to the U.S. under a humanitarian parole program.

Salgado was given a two-year stay per that “humanitarian parole” program, living in Northport with his wife and two children, while applying for asylum. He lived in that kind of limbo at peace, until recently.
