Stop the deportation of Angel, a 13-year-old Honduran boy
The Issue
A 13-year-old boy named Angel is facing the threat of deportation to Honduras, where his life may be in danger. We must stop him from being deported.
As Angel stood alone in front of an immigration judge on Monday, September 28, his plea for sanctuary was dismissed. Angel had no legal representation. He explained to the judge that most of his family was in the US and that it wasn’t safe for him to return to Honduras, but the judge said that this was not enough to qualify him for asylum. Devastated, Angel broke down in tears. The judge gave him until the end of the month to appeal his deportation order.
Organizations such as Human Rights Watch continuously report on the dire situations leading many young people like Angel to flee Honduras. Violence, gang activity, and lack of law enforcement make everyday living perilous. For Angel, most of his family is already here, in the US, his support system and the only safety net left for him. Forced to return to Honduras, Angel would face an uncertain and potentially life-threatening environment without his loved ones’ protection.
This is not just about Angel’s future but about values of compassion and justice. We, the citizens of a nation founded on the principles of refuge and opportunity, must make our voices heard. Every child deserves the right to live free from fear, to be loved by family, and to grow in a caring community.
It is urgent that we help Angel before he is deported. We call upon relevant authorities and lawmakers to halt Angel's deportation and allow him to remain where he can have a future, be educated, and contribute positively to society.
By signing this petition, you join a chorus of voices striving for justice and the protection of basic human rights. Sign now to make a stand against sending a scared, vulnerable child back to danger. Help us stop the deportation of Angel, and together, let’s pave a path towards a more humane immigration process.
