Let Dina, Illinois Mom, stay with her 3 year old son!

UPDATE: Thank you for your support in Dina’s case. Yesterday May 9th, she was given a stay of removal by ICE for at least a year. Dina had been to several lawyers throughout this past year and they had all told her she had no choice but to leave the country. Thanks to organizing and the support of the public, the support of several community organizations including the Latino Organization of the Southwest and the Immigrant Youth Justice League, as well as Rep. Gutierrez and Senator Durbin, Dina will now be able to stay in the US with her son and her partner. Yesterday Dina said no mother should be going through what she went through. And indeed no human being should go through the pain and uncertainty of knowing whether you are going to be able to live with your loved ones.

Dina’s case is one of many. Help us continue to fight deportations, one at a time if we have to, holding ICE, DHS and President Obama’s administration accountable to our families and communities.

Thank you and please sign and spread the word about the following cases and help get these two people released from detention and home to their families:

Dina came to the U.S. at the age of 20, fleeing gang harassment and violence in El Salvador. She is the mother and primary caretaker of a three year old U.S. citizen son. She could be deported as soon as next week, days before mother’s day.
Dina was placed into removal proceedings after police came searching her home for the previous inhabitant and arrested her instead. Police turned her over to ICE once they realized she was not a citizen, even though no criminal charges were brought against her.

Dina was bonded out and moved to file for asylum, but was denied in 2011. She appealed the decision and was denied again this past March.
“I am afraid to go back to EL Salvador, not only because of what I experienced, but also because of the violence my family living there still experiences. I do not want my son to grow up in that environment.”
Dina de la Paz Alvayero Centeno should receive deferred action and a stay of removal in a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion. She is the primary caretaker of her three-year-old U.S. citizen son and is afraid to return to El Salvador due to the gang harassment and violence that she and her family have experienced. Ms. De la Paz Alvayero Centeno is an important leading member of our community and a loving mother who deserves to be with her U.S. citizen child.
Please sign the petiton and make a call to ICE in support of Dina.

Dina De la Paz Alvayero Centeno (A 200 815 633) came to the United States at the age of 20, fleeing gang harassment and violence in El Salvador.

Ms. De la Paz Alvayero Centeno was placed into removal proceedings after police came searching her home for the previous inhabitant and arrested her instead. Police turned her over to ICE once they realized she was not a citizen, even though no criminal charges were brought against her.

Ms. De la Paz Alvayero Centeno is the mother and primary caretaker of her three year old U.S. citizen son.

Ms. De la Paz Alvayero Centeno filed for asylum, but was denied in 2011. She appealed the decision and was denied again this past March.

I am afraid to go back to EL Salvador, not only because of what I experienced, but also because in 2011 one of my cousins was kidnapped when he refused to join a gang. The gang went to wait for him after school and we have not heard from him since. We do not know if he is alive. We know nothing of him. I do not want my son to grow up in that environment.

Dina de la Paz Alvayero Centeno should receive deferred action and a stay of removal in a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Please help her remain with her son in the U.S.

Thank you for your time.
