Arizona High School Student with No Criminal Record in Immigration Detention, Threat of Imminent Deportation
Justo Rojop Hernandez (A# 205-147-894) is a young high school student from Phoenix Arizona. Justo has lived in the country for five years, has no criminal record, is an exemplary student and athlete, and wants to remain in the United States, the country where he has lived since he was 13.
Although Justo has no criminal record, and could be eligible for President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, he continues to be in immigration detention at Eloy Detention Center.
Less than a year ago, at the age of 17 Mr. Hernandez was placed in deportation proceeding while he was traveling from his night job at a restaurant. Although no charges were placed, the police arrested him, and was transferred to immigration detention. He was let out on order of supervision to the custody of his parents, and told to come back one year later.
Unfortunately, before his check-in he missed information regarding an immigration court, and was ordered deported in absentia. At the time of his immigration check-in he went to the ICE offices, where he was detained.
Justo is a good student and a good person. At Esperanza High School, he participates in extra curricular activities, including playing in the soccer team. He worked at night to help support his family, while he continued his education.
I am writing in support of Mr. Justo Rojop Hernandez (A# 205-147-894) a young high school student from Phoenix Arizona. Mr. Hernandez has lived in the country for five years, has no criminal record, is an exemplary student, and has shown good moral character. Although Mr. Hernandez is an excellent candidate for prosecutorial discretion he is being held at an immigration detention center, and could be deported this week.
Less than a year ago, at the age of 17 Mr. Hernandez was placed in deportation proceeding while he was traveling from his night job at a restaurant. Although no charges were placed, the police arrested him, and was transferred to immigration detention. He was let out on order of supervision to the custody of his parents, and told to come back one year later.
Unfortunately, before his check-in he missed information regarding an immigration court, and was ordered deported in abscentia. At the time of his previously scheduled immigration check-in he went to the ICE offices, where he was detained.
Mr. Hernandez is a good student and a good person. At Esperanza High School, he participates in extra curricular activities, including playing in the soccer team. He worked at night to help support his family, while he continued his education. Please use prosecutorial discretion to stop his deportation and release him from detention.
Thank you,
