“We are fighters but my father is someone who is one of the most important people in my life. Not a day goes by where we don’t love you, miss you, and fight for you with all our hearts. You will be home with us soon daddy. I love you so much. #bringjoehome," she added.
Giudice and his reality TV star wife, Teresa, also share three other daughters: Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 9.

“Joe with the girls decorating eggs, days like this I love having photos,” the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star wrote.
The Giudice's attorney, James J. Leonard Jr., told Fox News in a statement on Thursday: “We are extremely disappointed that the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mr. Giudice’s appeal. We have filed a stay with the Third Court of Appeals and will continue to fight to keep Mr. Giudice in the United States, the only country he knows, and reunite him with his wife and four daughters.”
