(Julio Cortez/AP)The family of reality star Joe Giudice is petitioning a former member of their ranks — reality star turned leader of the free world, President Trump — to save their patriarch from deportation. Giudice, the husband of “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice, pleaded guilty (along with his wife) to financial fraud in 2014. After finishing his sentence in March, Joe Giudice, who is not a U.S. citizen, was released to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility. The petition, which was signed by the women of the family, has more than 37,000 supporters with the goal of reaching 50,000.
