Teresa Giudice And Daughters Visit Joe Giudice In ICE Custody On His Birthday!

Joe Giudice recently reunited with his family during on his 47th birthday, which took place this week after the Real Housewives of New Jersey husband was recently granted permission to continue living in the U.S. amid his ongoing deportation battle.

A source close to the couple confirmed to E! News that his wife Teresa Giudice and their four daughters Gia (18),  Gabriella (14), Milania (13), and Audriana (9), visited him for his special day on Wednesday.

According to the source, it was the first time they've seen Joe since he has been in ICE custody. “It is a difficult place to visit, from the overall cleanliness to the actual application for a visit to happen. Plus, it is just so far away,” the source said.

Joe Gorga revealed that the reunion lasted “one hour.”

“They actually went to see him today, yeah,” Gorga told Us Weekly on Wednesday, May 22. “They’re able to get in! But it’s harder, it’s a tougher spot.”

“It’s very hard. There are very strict rules,” said Gorga of the visits to the western Pennsylvania facility. “They can go back. It just takes time. A stay means you’re able to stay in the country but still in a prison while you’re going through the immigration.”

According to Gorga, it’s “very hard” for his entire family to cope as they wait for a decision to be made on Joe’s case.

“It’s really, really rough. You know you watch Gia’s Instagram, they’re really hurt,” said Gorga. “The girls are really hurt.”
