On Sunday afternoon August 10th, 2014, Norlan Geronimo Prado, A#089-813-015, was driving home from the hospital where his partner had just given birth to their daughter, Genesis, when he was stopped for a supposed minor traffic violation. He was detained by Tucson Police Department when he was not able to produce a driver’s license, who turned him over to Border Patrol custody. A loving new father, he was planning to spend every second he could with his beloved child, in the first days and weeks of Genesis’s life. Instead, Norlan has spent the first month of his baby’s life detained. Norlan is a long-time member of the Southside Worker Center, active member of the Protection Network Coalition, a loving friend, and caring partner. He is a vital part of the community and committed to the movement to stop deportations and to end police-ICE collaboration in Tucson. Norlan’s stay of deportation was recently denied and the Nicaraguan embassy is currently preparing his travel documents, meaning he may be deported at any time, likely in the next two weeks. Norlan qualifies for a U-visa based off a crime he suffered in the United States and has submitted an application signed by the Pima County Sheriff’s office. ICE has released a policy memo against deporting U Visa applicants, so why is Norlan still being deported? His friends, coworkers, family, and his newborn baby need him back in Tucson. 1. Call the Phoenix ICE Field Office at (602) 766-7030. Ask John Gurule, Field Office Director to grant Norlan Geronimo Prado, A# 089-813-015, a Stay of Deportation and that he be released on humanitarian parole to be reunited with his family immediately! 2.

Norlan es miembro activo del Centro de Trabajadores del Sur de Tucson y de la Coalición de Redes de Protección, un amigo cariñoso y un excelente compañero. El es parte vital de nuestra comunidad y ha estado comprometido con el movimiento para parar las deportaciones y la colaboración entre la Policía e Inmigración en Tucson.
La petición de Norlan para parar su deportación fue denegada y actualmente el consulado de Nicaragua se encuentra preparando sus documentos de viaje lo que significa que Norlan puede ser deportado en cualquier momento, se espera que en las siguientes dos semanas. Norlan cualifica para una Visa U como resultado de haber sido víctima de un crimen violento en los Estados Unidos y dicha petición ya fue firmada por el Sheriff del Condado de Pinal. En el pasado, ICE ha publicado un memo sobre sus políticas en contra de deportar víctimas de crímenes violentos, entonces, por qué Norlan aún está en peligro de ser deportado? Sus amig@s, compañer@s, familia y su hija recién nacida lo necesitan de regreso en Tucson.
