About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Night deportations must be stopped immediately!

Almost 800,000 people were deported during the last two fiscal years.  The detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants continues to increase under the current  Administration.

Deportees, especially those deported in the late hours of the night,  face hunger, illness, inclement weather and victimization by criminal elements at points of deportation where they have no friends or relatives or other support networks to provide them humane treatment until they are able to get back on their own two feet.   Night deportations increase their risk of becoming the victims of assault,rape,kidnapping, police brutality and other vulnerabilities given the lack of shelters, humane societies, etc.;

Our families are being divided and thousands of children are suffering because they are  left without their fathers or mothers.

STOP ALL NIGHT DEPORTATIONS

Dear President Obama,

Please, stop all night deportations by issuing an Executive order.

Almost 800,000 people were deported during the last two fiscal years. The detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants continues to increase under your Administration.

Deportees, especially those deported in the late hours of the night, face hunger, illness, inclement weather and victimization by criminal elements at points of deportation where they have no friends or relatives or other support networks to provide them humane treatment until they are able to get back on their own two feet.

Night deportations increase their risk of becoming the victims of assault, rape, kidnapping, police brutality and other vulnerabilities given the lack of shelters, humane societies, etc.

Therefore, we the undersigned urge you, as the Nobel Peace laureate (2009) to show your compassion and leadership with one small token of good will. Please, pass an Executive Order to stop immediately all night deportations and consider a humane comprehensive immigration reform, as promised. Our families are being divided and thousands of children are suffering because they are left without their fathers or mothers.

Respectfully,

[Your name]
