Why this petition matters

Started by Hugo Gonzalez

Mayra N. Chavez Martinez is first a daughter to two loving parents, a sister to 4 brothers, and 2 sisters. She is an Auntie, and a loving mother to her 3 children. Though Mayra was brought to the U.S. as a child, her siblings and her were raised in Los Angeles. She attended Jordan High school in Los Angeles, they also grew up in La Puente CA, Lived in California for 30 years.                                                                    Mayra is a victim of Due Process violations both in federal and State level. She's a victim of the double punishment, a victim of trickery on behalf of DHS-ICE. The prison to-deportation pipeline in California cruelly separates Thousand's of families each year, like Mayra and her family. Mayra is currently in Mexico undergoing extreme danger and hardship as you read this petition. ICE wrongfully removed Mayra in 2011 to a country she hadn't set foot in since she was a child. Both all her family is in the U.S. suffering unusual extreme hardship specially her children, they need Mayra back home where she belongs...                                           3 Major reasons why Mayra deserves a second chance... 1) Ineffective Assistance of Counsel... 2) Due Process violations... 3) Discrimination.... Compton Court public defender wrongfully convicted Mayra. The case should be vacated in the interest of justice for Mayra and her family... Previously, before acceptance of the plea of guilty to the offense, Compton Court failed to advise Mayra that the conviction might have Immigration consequences as required under Penal code Section 1016.5(a). Including possible deportation, exclusion from admission to the U.S. Mayra likely would not have pleaded guilty if Compton Court had advised Mayra of the Immigration consequences of the plea. (People v. Arriaga(2004 58 Cal: 4th 950.).                       Mayra was erroneously convicted, but she served her time, took the steps necessary to educate, and rehabilitate herself.  Payed her debt to society... The vast majority of women in prison were survivers of violence before their incarceration. Nearly 8 in 10 women in federal and State prison reported physical abuse and over 60% reported past sexual abuse. After the Parole Board and the Governor's Office granted Mayra parole, she was then released to DHS-ICE, she was not given the opportunity to re-unite with her family, even though the Governor granted her parole...                                             Mayra was taken through the exhausting loop. Deportation Officer sat in a room where Mayra had been waiting hours. The Officer was insisting and pressured Mayra to sign her deportation. She was told that if she didn't have the monetary funds to afford a private attorney, that she didn't have a chance to win her Immigration case. Thus Mayra was tricked into signing not realizing she was onece again tricked and pressured into giving up her rights.                                  On the year 2011 Mayra N. Chavez Martinez was wrongfully deported to Sonora Mexico, and separated from her loving family. Without properly notifying the family. Mayra is asking you the public to please read, sign, and share this petition to call on Governor Newsom to act and grant a Governor Pardon to ultimately re-unify Mayra with her loving family. #GovernorPardon4Mayra #BringBackMayra #BringMayraBack #KeepingFamiliesTogether
