Jose Yugar-Cruz is a 37-year-old father sitting in an immigration detention center in Iowa, waiting to be deported to the Democratic Republic of the Congo — a country he has never visited, where he has no family, and whose language he does not speak. A federal court already ruled that Jose cannot be sent back to his home country in South America because a judge found it more likely than not that he would face torture or persecution there. That ruling was supposed to protect him. Instead, the government found a workaround: send him somewhere else entirely. While detained, Jose lost his mother. He has been unable to support his children. He has spent nearly two years behind bars despite a court order meant to keep him safe. NOT A CRIMINAL, RAPIST, or MURDERER. LET HIM GO. He needs to support his family. AND, WHY DOES HOMELAND SECURITY AND ICE NOT FOLLOW COURT ORDERS!!!! WHY DOES HOMELAND SECURITY AND ICE NOT FOLLOW COURT ORDERS….. OMG FOR THE LOVE OF OUR COUNTRY! WHY DOES HOMELAND SECURITY AND ICE NOT FOLLOW COURT ORDERS.
