Natalie is asking Americans to stand with her in requesting that ICE and the Trump Administration do everything within their authority to deport her father, Miguel Angel Casarez-cardoso, back to Mexico as soon as possible.

Illegal alien Miguel Angel Casarez-cardoso is currently incarcerated at Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario, Oregon. He was admitted on November 5, 2019, and has an earliest release date of May 22, 2035. He was convicted in Multnomah County of Rape I, Rape I Attempt, Sodomy I Attempt, and Criminal Mistreatment I. He sexually abused Natalie throughout her childhood.

At the current official Oregon DOC rate of $218.36 per day, housing him costs taxpayers roughly $80,000 per year. By his earliest release date in 2035, the total cost is projected to exceed $1.3 million.

Oregon’s sanctuary laws currently prohibit state prisons from honoring ICE administrative detainers or coordinating transfers for immigration purposes. As a result, he is expected to be released into the community rather than into federal custody for removal. Ideally, his removal would come prior to his release out of prison.

Natalie is calling on Oregon and U.S. lawmakers to coordinate so that noncitizens who commit serious crimes against American children are removed from the country rather than housed for years in state prisons at taxpayer expense. She is also urging ICE and the Trump Administration to use every available tool to ensure her father is deported upon release or through any lawful process, and to strengthen measures that prevent illegal entry in the future.

When people who are not authorized to be in the United States commit violent crimes against American citizens, the human cost to victims and the financial cost to taxpayers should not be ignored. Natalie asks policymakers to prioritize public safety, accountability, and the efficient use of public resources.
