A Mexican teenager jailed after refusing treatment for tuberculosis will be deported along with his mother. 17-year-old Francisco Santos and his unidentified mother will be deported to Mexico when Santos is released from the Gwinnett County Jail. County health officials jailed Santos last month after he refused treatment for an active, contagious case of tuberculosis and threatened to return to Mexico. Santos has since started taking medicine but remains jailed.
