A child's plea shows why ICIE fights for families

Jessica's letter to ICE. Click to see a larger version.

Our mission here at ICIE is to not only assist foreign nationals, but their families. There is no better example of this than the case of Salomon Guevara, who was recently deported to El Salvador despite multiple circumstances that should have kept in him the country legally. Guevara has three young children, all American citizens, and a wife who are now alone in America without a breadwinner.

While ICIE was working on Salomon's case, he sat in a jail cell away from his family. During this time, his daughter Jessica wrote to officials in the Dallas ICE office begging them to let her father go. Despite this letter, and all the facts of his case proving he should have been allowed to stay, Dallas ICE director Simona Flores had Salomon deported on Friday the 13th. Because of ICE's indifference to a family man and Sunday School teacher, this family spent the holidays apart.

THIS IS WHY ICIE WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR FAMILIES.
