Stop the deportation of Adan Gamboa
Stop the deportation of Adan Gamboa
The Issue
Every day, our community at Ingleside High School stands to lose an exceptional student, a talented athlete, and a cherished friend. Adan Gamboa is not just a name or a face in our yearbook. He is our classmate, a star who has shone brightly both in academics and on the field. Ranked among the top 10 of our graduating class, Adan's dedication to his studies serves as a beacon of excellence, inspiring everyone around him.
From his time in various varsity sports teams, Adan has shown leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship—qualities that make our school proud. But what sets Adan apart is not just his academic or athletic achievements, but the compassion and friendship he offers to everyone he meets. Losing him to deportation would not only strip away a talented individual but tear the fabric of our tight-knit community.
Adan came to this country with hopes and dreams, both of which are on the verge of being crushed by a system that fails to consider the human stories behind immigration statistics. His journey in the United States has been punctuated by hard work and hope. His success at Ingleside High School is a testament to the potential waiting to be realized if he is allowed to stay. Deporting him would mean losing a future engineer, a community organizer, or perhaps a leader poised to make meaningful changes in society.
Moreover, statistics show that youth like Adan, who remain in the U.S., often go on to contribute significantly to society. According to the National Immigration Forum, immigrants accounted for nearly 17% of the civilian workforce in 2020, many of whom are vital in various community-building sectors. Deporting Adan denies both him and our community a brighter future.
We implore those in power to reconsider and to see Adan not as a number in an immigration report, but as the vibrant young person we know him to be. Adan deserves the chance to walk across the stage at graduation, to toss his cap in celebration, and to embrace a future full of promise in the country he loves and calls home.
Let us stand together to keep our community intact and ensure that Adan is not forced to leave the home he has built here. Speak up today to stop the deportation of Adan Gamboa by signing this petition. Every signature counts in our fight to keep our friend, classmate, and community leader with us.
