Jiovany Enriquez (A#077809098), hard-working and loving      father of a 6-year old US citizen, is being held at the Tri County Detention Center awaiting his deportation.

Jiovany left Guatemala in 2000 looking for a better life in the United States but was caught at the border and deported. Five years later Jiovany attempted to cross again and was successful.

He settled in Houston,Texas where shortly after his arrival ICE detained him and deported him again. A year later, running away from the violence in Guatemala, Jiovanny came back to the US and eventually settled in Chicago, Illinois where he met his wife and started his family.

 Three weeks ago Jiovanny and his wife came into contact with the Cicero Police, Jiovanny was arrested and taken to jail. After the charges against him were dropped, Cicero Police told Jiovany he would be let out but instead he was transferred to ICE custody. He is now at the Tri-County Detention Center and is set to be deported as early as Tuesday.

Jiovany is a loving father of a 6 year-old US citizen and the main provider for his family. His mother-in-law, a lawful permanent resident, is disabled from a vascular cerebral condition, before his arrest Jiovany supported her and was the main source of income for the family. Despite Jiovany’s strong ties to his family and his US born daughter, Jiovany’s previous deportation label him as high priority for deportation.
