Noe Should Be Considered ‘Low Priority’ Under New Guidelines And Released
On the day that the President announced administrative action on immigration, the Department of Homeland Security announced new prosecutorial discretion guidelines for immigrants in deportation. These guidelines include that people who have immigration violations before January 1, 2014 should not be considered priority for deportation. Noe Adan Carlos-Herrera should be considered low priority under these new guidelines and released from detention, yet he could be on a plane to Mexico at any time.
Noe is a resident of Aurora, Illinois and a proud father of his 3-year old daughter. He came to the United States to get away from the violence of the border town in which he lived when he was 7 years old, and has worked hard to support his daughter and send money to his father in Mexico, who suffers has heart problems.
Last April, he made a right turn during a red light, and was pulled over by police. Because he had been deported in the past, his information was shared with immigration agents, who came to his home to take him in to immigration detention. Noe has been detained for the last 10 months.
ICE argues that Noe is a priority for deportation because he has had several stops at the border and more than one deportation. He has no significant criminal record, except for the traffic violation and a charge for possession of alcohol as a minor. Although the new guidelines don’t go into effect until January 05, 2014, the Chicago field office should use prosecutorial discretion to stop Noe’s deportation. Please sign and make a call to make sure that they do.
UPDATE: Noe’s ticket on a plane to Mexico for December 9th, 2014 was cancelled, however he is still detained and is still in deportation proceedings. Please continue to sign and make calls until Noe is back together with his family.
