“
Carlos has been in detention since May 9th. His youngest daughter who was victim of sexual abuse has been unable to attend her therapies and his oldest daughter attempted suicide because of the stress and difficulties the family has been facing.
Carlos’ only hope is for Sen. Nelson / Sen. Rubio to intervene.
Senator Rubio and Nelson are the ONLY ones who can help: SIGN & Make a CALL
Senator Rubio
Washington D.C.: 202-224-3041
Orlando: 407-254-2573
Senator Nelson:
Washington D.C.: 202-224-5274
Orlando: 407-872-7161
“Hi, I am calling to ask the Senator to take a position on Carlos Castaneda’s case. Carlos’ youngest daughter was the victim of sexual abuse and his oldest daughter attempted suicide because of the stress brought by her dad’s detention. Why won’t the senator take a position on his case and issue a letter of support?”
If Rubio or Nelson’s Office Tells You …
If Rubio or Nelson’s office tells you ‘we are working with the family tell them you just heard from DreamActivist.org that they are not! Tell them you KNOW Obama can fix this, but Rubio and Nelson can ALSO fix this. Don’t let Rubio and Nelson off the hook.
What Senators can do:
1. Issue a letter, signed by the Senator, in support of Carlos. The letter should specifically ask that Carlos’ deportation be stopped and his request for discretion granted. The senator must take a position on Carlos’ case.
2. Call John Morton, the director of ICE, directly and ask that he use his discretion. Senators in many previous cases have made this call.
3. Issue a private bill. Any senator can sponsor a private bill and as soon as one is issued it will put a hold on any deportation for the remainder of the congressional session.
If the office tells you anything different then push them to do the above. They have the power to do it, but are refusing to do it.
