Stop Unjust Deportation of Luis Enrique Gonzalez-Ortiz

Stop the unjust deportation of Luis Enrique Gonzalez-Ortiz. http://www.deportinglove.com/2018/05/in-news-local-station-shares-our-story.html

Stop tearing apart families with unjust deportations. Grant the administrative closure of the former deportation order and allow Luis Enrique Gonzalez-Ortiz to stay.

Why is this important?

My Husband, Luis Enrique Gonzalez-Ortiz has been in the country for 12 years. A role-model resident, self-employed creator of jobs, neighborhood revitalizer, and positive contributor to the community - and not a criminal - Enrique must be permitted to stay in the U.S.

With an approved marriage to U.S. Citizen, Harlon J. Wilson, and more than a decade of working hard, paying income taxes, and contributing to his community, we should be permitted the necessary time to complete our application for the green card and waiver.

With an application to renew our "Stay" denied and an ICE-requested travel itinerary to return to the dangers of El Salvador, extreme hardship would be caused both to me as the U.S. Citizen spouse as well as to my spouse, Enrique who would become the target of gang recruitment. Thankfully, the courts have recently agreed to hear our case although immigration judge's hands are tied with the recent unilaterally policy shifts of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

We need an Administrative Closure or Continuance until our green card is received. Sessions recent mandates of immigration judges make our case all the more concerning as we remain caught in limbo.

As gay males with a same-sex marriage, we both would be in grave danger if returned to El Salvador, a nation that does not currently protect discrimination against gays nor recognize gay marriage. If U.S. immigration deports Enrique, we will stay together. It is likely I as a white American male would be the target of hate, discrimination, violence, extortion, and possibly death if forced to leave this country to be with my husband in his native homeland of El Salvador.

Please review the details to learn of how U.S. immigration officials got it all wrong in this case. Enrique was seeking relief from the dangers of his land but did not know and adequately understand the communication at the border. While in processing, border officers refused to retrieve his Indiana-based Uncle's U.S. postal address from the pocket of the jacket that officials had locked away. Thus, it is unclear where a 2006 Notice to Appear was sent. Without receipt of the notice, he was unaware of a court date and did not appear to a 2006 hearing. A deportation was ordered at that time. We did not discover the order until our 2014 marriage and subsequent filing for legalization.

Please consider hearing our story as we work towards changing laws. Immigration must be reformed to be more human-centered including amnesty for those already living in and contributing to the country.

Please Stop the Deportation of Luis Enrique Gonzalez Ortiz. Please use every means, including the creation of a "Personal Bill," injunction, or every other possible option to remove Enrique's unjust deportation order. Please help us Stop the Deportation of my husband.
