The Petition
To Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, John Morton; and Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano:
We, the undersigned, write to request that you take immediate action to stop the deportation of Samuel Isaul Soto (A# 072 999 560) and release him from Broward Transitional Center in Florida.
On May 16, 2012, Samuel was stopped by a police officer for no reason and was arrested for driving with an expired license. Despite being a low-priority case, Samuel was transferred to Broward Transitional Center where he has been ever since. Samuel has been married to his wife for 11 years and they have four children together, their youngest daughter is only 2 years old.
Samuel was deported once in 1997, but returned in 1999 because he couldn’t bear to be away from his family. He is now at risk of being deported at any moment because his stay of deportation application was denied. Samuel has 4 children who rely on him for emotional and financial support. All of Samuel’s children are in school and are great students, but the detention of their father has been affecting them in their school work.
According to the memo issued by John Morton, Samuel is a low-priority case and should be released and granted favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Samuel has no criminal record and has tried to fix his legal status by applying for a visa petition. He has been living in the U.S. for 13 years. This is his home and his family needs him. Samuel is known in his community for being a good person, a hard worker, and a loving father and husband.
We, the undersigned, urge you to take immediate action to release Samuel Isaul Soto (A# 072 999 560) from Broward Transitional Center and call on ICE to stop his deportation.
