URGENT:  Sandra Lopez is currently being held in Eloy Detention Center where she is facing deportation to Mexico, a country she hasn’t been to since she was just days old. She will be deported soon if we do not do something NOW. Please take immediate action to tell DHS to grant her parole and defer her deportation—Help bring her home to Tucson, AZ!
Please take a few moments to SEND A LETTER and MAKE THREE PHONE CALLS. Sandra was brought to the United States when she was only days old. She has been living in Tucson her whole life, but is currently facing deportation to a country that is foreign to her. Now 20 years old, Sandra wishes to continue with her education and contribute to her community, but has been held in detention for six months and counting. Thanks to Sandra’s determination and the help of several committed organizations and individuals like you and yours, Sandra still has a fighting chance. A national campaign surrounding Sandra’s case was launched on July 25 and has delayed deportation once. Sandra is engaged in a unique asylum case and the courts have acknowledged her “credible fear” surrounding removal to Mexico. This is a critical step forward, yet Sandra remains detained with the fear of removal hanging over her. Despite Sandra’s “credible fear,” despite her hopes for asylum and for a future with her own ambitions and her own family, friends, and community around her, Sandra is still facing detention and deportation! If deported, Sandra will be sent back to and left unaccompanied in a country she hasn't been to since she was 15 DAYS old!
Please act now to help bring her home!
