Every day, foreign nationals and their families come to ICIE for help. We highlight a few of those people here on our website. Please click a link below to read the stories of some of the individuals we have helped.
Salomon escaped the drug-fueled violence of El Salvador in 2000. As an immigrant with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), he was able to live and work here legally. Paperwork errors and ICE indifference led to his TPS lapsing, and despite ICIE's best efforts, Salomon was deported just before Christmas 2013, leaving behind a young family.

The Marroquin Family - Click here to read their stories.
Elmer Marroquin was able to escape the poverty of El Salvador with his wife and several of his young children, but his two oldest remained behind with a relative. When drug violence overtook the country, Elmer, unable to bring his children here legally, could only afford to pay a smuggler to bring one child, his daughter Sylvia, to the U.S. However, the smuggler attacked Sylvia and abandoned her near the border. With the help of ICIE, Sylvia was reunited with her family in the U.S., and efforts are underway to bring the remaining child to America. Sylvia's story is indicative of the terrible violence that has forced many children to flee Central America to the border over the past year.
Rosa Moreno - Click here to read her stories.
Rosa lived in the U.S. undocumented for ten years. She left the country only after her two adult sons were murdered in Mexico, innocent victims of the drug cartels. She was caught and held by ICE upon her return, and spent a year and a half in jail before being released, even though she qualified for legal residency status. Find out how ICIE fought for her freedom.
Sandra Rodriguez - Click here to read her story.
Sandra tried to do the right thing to live here in America legally. However, an immigration attorney failed to file the proper paperwork, and ICE arrested her, determined to deport her. Even though she qualified for legal residency under the requirements of the Morton Memo, a heartless immigration judge named Dietrich Sims refused to help her. She was deported in 2014 in what ICIE founder Ralph Isenberg called "the most egregious case of misconduct and a violation of due process...that I have ever seen."

Yadira Verdusco - Click here to read her story
Yadira Verdusco, who was brought to the U.S. as a child, thought her residency in America was secure, until a series of events had her deported. With the help of INS agents, however, she thought she had re-entered the country legally, and built a successful career at a Dallas hospital. Years later, however, ICE agents threw her in jail, and she stayed there for nearly a year until a judge ruled that she was, in fact, here legally.
