Submitted by LA CONEXION
A couple of weeks ago a member of La Conexion was detained and reported to ICE. A simple traffic violation in Wood County area caused this hard working, honest, father of three citizen children, and member of the BG community to be sent to an ICE facility in Michigan. Our member is a tradesman who has been working for a local company for the last 7 years. Who wins by deporting this person? Certainly not his citizen children, his wife, his employer, or this community. (Click for related story.)
His first immigration hearing in is set on Monday 5/21/18 and at that time a bond will be placed by the judge.
Help us assist his family in raising the funds they need to get him back in our community.
