Please sign and send this letter, urging DHS Janet Napolitano, Senator Levin, Senator Stabenow and Representative Kilpatrick, to step in and stop the deportation of Herta. Unless something can be done she will be deported this coming Wednesday, August 19th.

Make sure you let Napolitano know you want Herta to remain in the country as she is the only one who can step in and prevent his deportation. Call the DHS message line at 1.202.282.8495. Tell them about Herta, ask them why they have not taken action yet and when they plan on making this right.

Call in Script:

I am calling on behalf of Herta Llusho (A#96-139-441), an undocumented student who is facing deportation back to Albania on August 19th. Herta has lived in Detroit since she was 11, she went to Pierce Middle School and Grosse Pointe South High School. Herta excelled in everything during high school, graduating with a 4.05 gpa and she continues to excel after high school. She has been very active in our community volunteering at homeless shelters, summer day camps, and tutoring programs, in addition to a lot of other things with her church.

The reason I am calling is to ask that you do something to stop Herta from being deported in less than 7 days. Please introduce a private bill for her in addition to contacting DHS and asking that they defer her deportation. Herta is an asset to our state and to our country and we should be fighting to keep immigrants like her here, not deporting them to countries they know little about.

Thanks.

Halt Deportation of Herta Llusho

Your Honor,

I write to humbly request that you take action to immediately halt the deportation of my friend and community member Herta Llusho, A#96-139-441. She was born in Albania and was brought to the United States when she was 11 years old. She has struggled with the help of her family through more than seven years of proceedings to find a way to stay in this country legally. Despite their best efforts, on August 19, she will be removed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from the only place she can really call home. She will be sent back to a country that has become a foreign place to her. She doesn't even speak Albanian well anymore. When her parents first brought her to the United States, Herta attended Pierce Middle School, just outside of Detroit, MI. She couldn’t speak English, at first, but within a year she was able to learn it due to the extremely supportive and patient teachers and friends she made. She later attended Grosse Pointe South High School, where she was a 4.05 GPA student and committed to a lot of extracurricular activities such as the Looking Glass, which was a magazine publication of short stories and poems, the Spanish club, and National Honor Society. She ran cross-country, track and played a little bit of soccer. Also through her church and other organizations, she volunteered at homeless shelters, summer day camps, and tutoring programs. Last year, she was accepted into the school of electrical engineering at the University of Detroit Mercy (UDM), where she has been able to maintain her high grades. Herta exemplifies what it means to be an American and she should be allowed to live the American dream. I urge you to immediately take action to stop Herta's deportation. Sincerely,

[Your name here]
