Two Pennsylvania Parents In Immigration Detention Although They Have Credible Asylum Case
Victor y su esposa, Maritza, se mudaron a los Estados Unidos después de la muerte de su hija. Su primera hija nació con asma grave y sufrió un ataque de asma cuando era bebé. Ella fue llevada al hospital por su madre y fue forzada a esperar por horas para ver al doctor. La bebé murió en los brazos de su madre en la sala de espera del hospital a pocos metros de los doctores. Pocos días después Martiza dio a luz a su hijo mayor que nació con la misma condición de asma. Después de que nació su hijo y después de la muerte de su hija, la familia decidió mudarse a los Estados Unidos para tener acceso a atención médica adecuada para todos sus hijos, de los cuales todos sufren de la misma condición médica. Maritza tiene dos trabajos ahorita para poder mantener a sus hijos.
Pídanle al Director Regional de Philadelphia, Thomas Decker, que permita que Victor sea liberado y que luche por su caso de inmigración casa con su familia.
Victor Ibarra Jimenez is detained at York County Correctional Facility. He is the father of three children, two of which are U.S. citizens, who are 12, 8 and 6 years old and has been living in the United States for a decade now. He is a construction worker and resident of Norristown, Pennsylvania, known for caring about his community and family. In March he got into a small fender bender and instead of being issued a ticket at the site of the accident he was mailed an order to appear in court. He went to court to pay his ticket and was unnecessarily fingerprinted by the court, an action that lead to Victor’s arrest by ICE on May 15th, 2014.
Victor and his wife, Maritza, moved to the United States after the death of their daughter. Their first child was born with severe asthma and and suffered a severe asthma attack as baby. She was brought to the hospital by her mother and was forced to wait for hours to see the doctor. The baby died in her mother’s arms in the hospital waiting room just feet away from physicians. A few days later Maritza gave birth to her oldest son who born with the same asthma condition. After the birth of their son and the death of their daughter the family decided to move to the United States to be able to access proper medical attention for all their sons, all of whom suffer from the same medical condition. Maritza is currently working two jobs to be able to provide for her children.
Ask Philadelphia’s Regional Director, Thomas Decker, to allow Victor to be released and fight his immigration case from home with his family.

Director Decker,
I am writing regarding the case of Mr. Victor Ibarra Jimenez (A#076-579-661) who is detained at York County Correctional Facility. I urge you use prosecutorial discretion to allow Victor to be released and fight his immigration case from home with his family.

Director Decker,
I am writing with great concern for the case of Mr. Francisco Ivan Avila Canela (A#200688743), who is currently detained at York County Correctional Facility. I write in support of his request to be released pending resolution to his case.
He is the father of 2 U.S. citizen children, who are 9 and 3 years old and has been living in the United States for a decade now. He is a cook in two restaurants and resident of Norristown, Pennsylvania, known for caring about his community and family. Francisco was picked up by ICE on April 21st, 2014 as he was finishing doing laundry with his family. As he was about to drive home from the laundry mat he was asked out of his car by ICE agents and arrested in front of his wife and children. His wife suffers from epilepsy and despite her doctor’s warnings is currently working two jobs to support her children while her husband is detained.
While living in Mexico Francisco had been kidnapped and ransomed. His family was able to pay for the ransom and he was released, but the experience has obviously left Francisco scared to return to Mexico. On August 6th he passed his reasonable fear interview but is continuing to be held.
I ask you to please consider Mr. Avila Canela’s request to be released and fight his immigration case from home with his family.
Thank you,
