Deported Civil Rights Leaders have the Right to Return to Appeal Their Case

On April 1, 2014, Jaime Arturo Valdez Reyes (A#201-288-309) and Ardani Rosales Lemus (A#098-918-011) will present themselves at the Nogales Port of Entry to reunite with their family. I am writing to ask that you re-open their cases and grant them humanitarian parole.

Why is this important?

At the same time that the President has said that he would like to make immigration practices more humane, the immigration enforcement agency is using deportation as a weapon against families working toward the same goal.

Jaime Valdez and Ardani Rosales were both illegally deported without notice and in retaliation for their part in bringing attention to the abusive conditions in the detention centers where they were held.

On Tuesday April 1st, both men will present themselves with their legal files at the Nogales port of entry to request permission to reunite with their loved ones and close their cases using humanitarian parole.

Today's civil rights leaders deserve respect not retaliation. Their families belong together, it's unjust intimidation practices that have no place in the United States.
