National media has been watching closely the case of the Pelaez siblings. Yesterday we reported the case of Daniela Pelaez, the North Miami High School valedictorian who is along with her sister is facing deportation to Colombia. Today, students, faculty, and staff from North Miami walked out of the high school in order to show their support for Daniela and her sister Dayana. 2,600+ people were present at the protest for Daniela, among them was Superintendent of Miami-Dade School Alberto Carvalho who had to say a few words regarding the deportation of the Pelaez sisters:
“Over my dead body will this child be deported,”The Urban Institute has estimated that there are close to 192,000 undocumented students that would benefit from the Dream Act within the state of Florida, and Daniela Pelaez is just one of these thousands of students who continue to be victims of our broken immigration system. Meanwhile, Immigration Customs Enforcement has issued the following statement:
“As Daniela and Dayana Pelaez have reserved the right to appeal an immigration judge’s decisions ordering them to return to Colombia, ICE will not take any action against them while they pursue additional legal options. Upon conclusion of’ their appeal, ICE will review this matter to determine whether an exercise of discretion is warranted. Overall, ICE is focused on smart, effective immigration enforcement that prioritizes the removal of criminal aliens, recent border crossers and egregious immigration law violators, such as those who have been previously removed from the United States.”The Pelaez siblings were scheduled to meet today with Representative Rivera, the sponsor of the hugely controversial ARMS Act. We will keep you posted on further developments as we receive them. Support Daniela and her sister by signing the this petition.

URGENT: On Friday, November 4th, Minhaz was forced to wear an electronic ankle bracelet and has to present a one-way plane ticket to Bangladesh, a country he hasn’t been to in 20 years, on November 18th!
Minhaz’s father lost his asylum case as a result of the negligence and wrongful advice of his attorney. He was deported back to Bangladesh where he was murdered for his political affiliations.
