Please sign this petition and CIRCULATE WIDELY!


Tell ICE you support the release of Melida and her 4-year-old daughter Estrella from family detention in Karnes City, Texas. Melida has a 10-year-old U.S. citizen daughter, a sister with a green card, and other U.S. citizen family and friends all waiting for her in New York and willing to care for her while her case proceeds. She has already endured more than 8 months of detention, suffering constantly while her daughter has been chronically ill and required hospitalization. She's terrified of returning to Guatemala, where the family of the gang member who was convicted of murdering her sister-in-law wants retribution. ICE has the authority to release her but, so far, has denied every request. If Prosecutorial Discretion means anything, it means that Melida and Estrella should be released   Click here to sign the petition:  http://petitions.moveon.org/s/aO5MkO

The American Immigration Lawyers Association and her counsel will deliver the petition to ICE and DHS.
