JEANETTE, A BELOVED COLORADO COMMUNITY LEADER AND MOTHER OF THREE U.S. CITIZEN CHILDREN, NEEDS YOUR URGENT HELP TO RECEIVE A "STAY OF DEPORTATION" Jeanette Vizguerra, a beloved Colorado community leader and mother of four, is being detained in El Paso, TX detention center and is scheduled to be deported tomorrow!!! We need your support now!! Please make calls all this afternoon and tomorrow all day. Please ask your friends and family to make calls! Call both: Adrian Macias, Field Office Director, El Paso Field Office (915-225-1941) John Morton, Director, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (202-732-3000) ( I couldnt get through to Adrian but was able to leave a message fro John Morton)-Sonia Sample Script: "Hi I am calling to ask that ICE grant a stay of deportation on the case of Jeanette Vizguerra-Ramirez (A#089-826-036) and close her case. Jeanette is the mother of 3 U.S citizen children, who need her home. According to the Morton Memo issued in 2011, Jeanette is not a priority for deportation and should have her case closed." Jeanette has lived in Colorado for over 15 years, has 3 small children who are US citizens, started a small business with her husband who is a cancer survivor, and has given selflessly as a community activist. She worked for SEIU as a labor organizer and volunteered with her children’s schools, the Aurora Neighborhood Watch Program, and Rights for All People. Jeanette has worked hard for her community in Colorado and has inspired many with her courage and passion. Since 2009, Jeanette has been fighting her deportation case when she was pulled over by local police and arrested for driving without a license. In 2012 an immigration judge denied her prosecutorial discretion but Jeanette kept fighting to stay with her family and filed an appeal. While she waited for the decision on her appeal Jeanette’s mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Jeanette had not seen her mother for over 15 years and the thought of not being able to see her mother again pained Jeanette so much that she returned to Mexico on September 2012 to be with her mother. Jeanette’s mother died before Jeanette could speak with her for the last time. After the burial of her mother, Jeanette attempted to find work in Mexico but was discriminated for her age. Upon facing the crushing poverty in Mexico and seeing no future for her family in Mexico, Jeanette risked her life and attempted to cross the border to reunite with her children in Colorado. Jeanette was detained by Border Patrol and is now waiting deportation in El Paso, Texas detention center. Jeanette’s story exemplifies the brutality of our immigration system that is unjustly separating families, denying the opportunity to live a life with dignity, denying the opportunity be with their loved ones at their death. Although this immigration system has tried to destroy Jeanette’s dignity, Jeanette is still fighting to be with her children and she needs our support!! Please take action! Make a call!
