North Carolina Students Face Deportation
In North Carolina, we have been hit very hard. Currently in the state there are 3 students that we know of who have been deported and 7 who are currently in Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA. These young men have been denied due process, and we are pleading that they are granted the necessary steps that will ensure they remain safe and sound in the United States.
Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez, who is 19 years old (A# 206-766-187), was detained on his way to the bus stop by ICE officers on January 27, 2016, in Charlotte, NC. He is currently waiting for his Stay or Removal to be accepted. Yefri left El Salvador due to fear from gang activity. He has been separated from his mother for 13 years.
Wildin David Guillen Acosta, 19 years old (A#206-799-049), was detained on his way to school. He was knocked unconscious by ICE officers who picked him up on January 28, 2016. His mother sent for him after various threats from gangs. A judge has denied his stay or removal on 3/18/2016.
Pedro Arturo Salmeron, an 18-year-old ( A#206-794-982), was detained on his way to work with his father on January 26, 2016. Pedro currently has been denied a stay or removal but has a pending asylum case. Pedro was forced to leave El Salvador after receiving multiple threats by gangs.
Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez, an 18-year-old (A# 202-129-863), was detained on his way to work with his father on January 29, 2016. He has a stay or removal that is pending and has been granted a motion to reopen by Judge Holmes, yet ICE refuses to release him. Bilmer fled Guatemala due to threats from gangs, of which he has proof. He was significantly hurt by ICE and has severe sleep apnea.
Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman is an 18-year-old (A# 208-268-389) who was detained on his way to work on February 11, 2016. He has a pending asylum case with USCIS in Texas that was received on 3/11/16 and a motion to reopen with BIA pending, which was received on 3/11/16. He was forced to leave after his cousin was murdered by MS 13 gang members.
These are just some of the few stories of the young men who are in danger of not only deportation but death if sent back to their home countries. Besides the 5 young men listed, there are also 2 more: Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549) and Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A#202-076-383).
The undersigned ask the Department of Homeland security to stop the deportation of these students: Yefri Bertin Sorto Hernandez (A# 206-766-187), Wildin David Guillen Acosta (A# 206-799-049), Pedro Arturo Salmeron ( A# 206-794-982), Bilmer Araeli Pujoy Juarez (A# 202-129-863), Santos Geovany Padilla-Guzman (A# 208-268-389), Josue Alexander Soriano Cortez (A# 206-731-549), Edwin Yonatan Alarez-Galvez (A# 202-076-383). These students are low priority and should not be persecuted by ICE in the manner in which they currently are. If sent back, they will most likely face death due to the prominent gang activity in their home countries.

Why is this important?
On January 1, 2015, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would begin apprehending individuals who had deportation orders. They were looking for individuals who had orders of deportation since the summer of 2014 when there were vast amounts of unaccompanied minors who were fleeing Central America. The people that ICE is looking for are specific to a geographic location. They are from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras and are individuals who came to the US seeking refuge and protection.
