Help Reunite Sergey with his Family

from Gaby Pacheco, END Consultant, United We Dream

Despite the Obama administration’s recent announcement to halt the deportation of people deemed low priority, DREAMers are still being deported. Sergey is one of them.

In 2008, when Sergey called the police in an attempt to save his friend’s life, he was detained and placed in deportation proceedings. Unfortunately, at the time of his detention he followed bad legal counsel and accepted voluntary departure not fully understanding its consequences. Now he faces deportation to a country he hasn't been to in over 20 years.

If we show enough public support for his case, we can put pressure on DHS to release Sergey. Click here to send a fax to John Morton to ask that Sergey be released from detention.

Sergey has had a difficult life. He and his mother left Russia fleeing the widespread conflict following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 when he was 11 years old. During his childhood, he was placed in foster care for several years and was unable to finish school, but later earned his GED. Sergey now lives in New York with his wife and they are awaiting the arrival of their first child in just a few months. Four months ago, Sergey was detained again in Florida and has been away from his family since.
