The Petition
To Sen. Nelson, Sen. LeMiuex, Secretary Napolitano and Assistant Secretary John Morton:
Humbly, I write to request that you take action to immediately halt the deportation of Laura Perez (A96753034), and her two siblings, Camilo Perez (A96753035) and Natalia Perez (A96753033).
Although Laura, Camilo, and Natalia citizens of Colombia, they came to the U. S. as children. Laura was 15; Natalia was 13; and Camilo was 11. The three siblings came to the U. S. with their family in 2000, after receiving repeated death threats from a guerrilla group in Colombia.
These three siblings have been outstanding students. Laura was a pre-med student at Broward Community College; Camilo was studying engineering on a full scholarship at Florida Atlantic University; and Natalia was studying interior-design at Broward Community College. But for her detention, Natalia would have graduated with her bachelor’s this May. Despite their best efforts, these three DREAM Act students are awaiting deportation from the only country they call home.
Laura, Camilo, and Natalia exemplify what it means to be an American and they should be allowed to live the American dream.
I respectfully request that you halt the deportation of Laura, Camilo, and Natalia, who may be facing death in Colombia.
Thank You
