His lawyers said in documents obtained by PEOPLE that Joe was hoping to get out so he could work to make money for his family. They also stated that Joe is still hopeful his appeal will be granted, allowing him to stay in the United States. In the event that he does prevail in his case after he has been sent to Italy, Joe requests that ICE facilitate his return home.
According to E! News, the father of four is expected to return to Italy in the coming weeks. Flight arrangements and a travel document are in the works. Another source told the outlet that there is a plan in place and a location picked out for Joe.
The next court date regarding Joe's appeal is in November.
