Bring a dedicated nurse back home to her family
The Issue
Imagine being torn away from your children and community, not because of a crime, but because of an immigration process that lacks compassion. This is the reality for our dear friend, colleague, and community member, Maureen, a registered nurse who has tirelessly served in our community hospital since the COVID-19 pandemic. Held by ICE, she is now separated from her loved ones, denied the ability to continue her invaluable work and support her family.
Maureen is a frontline hero who risked her own health to save countless lives during those unprecedented times. Her story is one that resonates deeply with many of us. It reminds us that even those contributing hugely to society can become victims of an unforgiving system.
This situation is not just a personal tragedy, but a community loss. During the pandemic, every healthcare provider was crucial, and as a healthcare community, and Maureen's absence is deeply felt. The hospital staff and patients alike have depended on her expertise and compassionate care. Releasing her to join her family and community is not just compassionate; it's necessary for the wellbeing of many.
We urge ICE to reconsider her case and exercise compassion and common sense. It's time to prioritize humanitarian considerations and allow Maureen to return to her children. She has proven her dedication to this country through her work and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
Your signature will be a powerful message advocating for Maureen's immediate release. By signing this petition, we stand together to protect our community members who have done their utmost to protect us. Let's bring her back to where she belongs. Please sign this petition and help reunite a family and restore a vital healthcare worker to her rightful place.
WE REQUEST THAT DHS WORK WITH ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO RELEASE MAUREEN QUICKLY ON HER OWN RECOGNIZANCE TO CALIFORNIA.
• Allow Maureen to see her children in California, pack her bags, complete work authorization to Canada.
• Then, voluntarily depart with dignity, paying her own passage to Canada or her country of origin, Kenya. Unshackled.
