Tell ICE to Stop Constantino's Deportation!
Fellow CCI member, activist, and friend, Constantino Morales, is still in deportation proceedings.We need you to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials TODAY and ask them to stop Constantino's deportation. Call Scott Baniecke, ICE Field Director at (952) 853-5900 and press option 9.
Thanks to you, ICE has received over 100 calls and Constantino is so grateful. Unfortunately, ICE denied our first request. But, we have sent a second request to ICE that has support from Polk Country Sheriff Bill McCarthy and Representative Bruce Hunter. Your continued action is crucial.
Here’s a little background on Constantino: Due to personal and safety circumstances in his hometown of Huehuetán, Mexico, Constantino applied for political asylum here in the U.S., but after a long process, his request was recently denied. He may be detained and deported at any time, which would put his life risk in Mexico.
Constantino is an active leader in his community. He fought alongside us in our campaign for immigration reform, and has inspired many to take action on issues affecting immigrants in Iowa.
ICE has the discretion to stop Constantino's deportation. Will you call ICE TODAY and ask them to stop Constantino’s deportation?Step 1: Dial Scott Baniecke, ICE Field Director at (952) 853-5900, and press option 9.Step 2: Ask ICE to stop Constantino's deportation:
"Hi, I am calling to ask ICE to exercise prosecutorial discretion in the case of Constantino Morales (A# 200 588 443). Constantino is a hardworking community leader who has stood up for workers’ and immigrants’ rights in Iowa, and he faces threat of violence if he is deported to Mexico. He deserves an opportunity to remain unharmed, and he is a low-priority case that should not be removed from the United States. Please stop Constantino’s deportation!
*Please note that some of the phone calls have been answered by those who attempt to shame Constantino’s name and direct you to another ICE office. If this happens, please do not be discouraged – express your support and ask Field Officer Director Baniecke to stop Constantino’s deportation. You are calling the correct field office.
Step 3: Reply to this email to let us know how your call went.
As lawmakers in Washington DC fail to fix our broken immigration system, good hard-working citizens like Constantino continue to suffer at their expense. In times like these, we must come together and stand up for justice.
