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 set bond for Miguel Angel Orellana Garcia (A# 094-320-156) so he can be with his family while he fights his deportation.
Miguel was born in El Salvador and was brought to the United States, in 1996, when he was only 9 years old. Now 24, he has been living in the United States for the majority of his life. Despite having lived in the United States for 15 years, Miguel finds himself fighting his deportation to a country he no longer remembers.
Miguel is currently being detained at York County Jail in Pennsylvania where he is awaiting deportation to El Salvador. If deported, he will be separated from his 3 year old child and his longtime girlfriend, who is expecting the couple’s second child. Miguel’s dream is to be able to stay in the United States to raise his two children. However, this dream won’t become a reality if he is deported to a country he no longer considers home. Miguel could be deported any day now.
Miguel has three U.S. citizen siblings and a mother who would be separated from him if he were to be deported. He has a 3 year old U.S. citizen child with his longtime girlfriend, Jessica, and the couple is expecting their second child who they hope to raise together. If deported, Miguel’s entire family will suffer and his girlfriend will be forced to raise their children without their father. We urge you to help us keep this family together by stopping Miguel’s deportation.
Miguel attended high school in Allentown, Pennsylvania but unfortunately, wasn’t able to graduate and receive his high school diploma. Despite the many obstacles he faces, he is committed to continuing his education and obtaining his G.E.D to help support his family. As a dedicated father, Miguel wants to set a good example to his two children by obtaining his G.E.D and continuing with his education.
Miguel has lived a difficult life since he was young, and was charged with some low-level offenses. However, he never served time in jail and regrets his youthful mistakes. Currently, Miguel is the sole provider for his family and knows his family is counting on him to do what is right. Miguel's only wish is to be released from immigration detention so he can be a good partner to Jessica and father to his children. He deserves to be at home with his family, not in detention.
In the face of incredible adversity, Miguel has managed to not only survive, but to thrive, and he attributes much of that to the opportunities afforded to him in the United States. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and President Obama have both stated that deporting undocumented youth brought to the U.S. as children is not a priority. We ask that you immediately take action to stop Miguel’s deportation so he can raise his two children and stay with his family.
We, the undersigned, urge you to set bond for Miguel Angel Orellana Garcia.
