7 Year old hints at suicide over fathers detention

Gelmino has been detained at Broward Transitional Center for the past 7 months, keeping him away from his wife and two U.S., citizen children. Gelmino’s children have fallen into depression as a result of their dad’s detention and are receiving therapy.

Gelmino is a low priority case and should be released immediately so he can be reunited with his wife and their two children. Help us stop Gelmino’s deportation by signing the petition and making a phone call!

TAKE ACTION - MAKE A CALL:

Call ICE – John Morton @ 202-732-3000 or 202-732-3100

Sample Script: “I am calling to ask that you release Gelmino Turra (A# 089-514-565) from Broward Transitional Center. Gelmino has an approved U visa with USCIS and should not be detained. His 7 year old son has been diagnosed with depression over his dad. Let Gelmino go!”
