To: David W. DeWeese, Assistant ICE Field Director
Marinela and her children shouldn't be torn from their home!
Please stop Marinela Martinez-Magana's (#A98593886) deportation now! Marinela shouldn't be forced to tear her three U.S. citizen children from their own country. Marinela has strong ties to the United States and no criminal record. She should not be a priority for deportation!
Why is this important?
Marinela was just trying to do the right thing by paying her traffic ticket, but instead she was led away in handcuffs and detained by immigration authorities.
The news has only gotten worse for Marinela, because ICE Field Director David W. DeWeese has cruelly denied her stay of removal. Now this mom of three U.S. citizen children will be deported at the end of the month, even though she has no criminal record. Why is ICE making Marinela a priority for deportation?
Marinela qualifies for the type of deportation relief President Obama had, until recently, been considering. But now that the President has said he's going to delay acting because he's too worried about elections, Marinela's entire family hangs in the balance.
Marinela fled her native El Salvador during a violent civil war over ten years ago, and she's become a valued member of her Ohio community.
But if she's deported, her entire family will be devastated. Marinela will be forced to uproot her U.S. citizen kids and move back to a country they've never known. We shouldn't punish our own just because of Washington D.C's political games! Marinela and her kids deserve a chance to stay home where they belong.
Please join us in telling ICE Field Director David W. DeWeese to stop Marinela's deportation immediately. Her entire family is depending on us!
