Well-Respected Coffee Farmer in Hawaii Deported to Mexico

A coffee farmer in Hawaii who appealed his deportation order in federal court was forced to leave the island late Friday, after a last-ditch effort to remain with his wife and children was denied, according to NBC-affiliate KNHL.



Andres Magana Ortiz said goodbye to his wife and his three children at Kona International Airport late Friday after the Department of Homeland Security rejected his lawyer's petition to grant him legal status because he is married to a U.S. citizen, KNHL said.

Ortiz voluntarily left Hawaii to return to Mexico, where he told reporters that he no longer has family. The 43-year-old was smuggled in to the U.S. when he was 15 in order to join his mother.

Ortiz had been working to obtain legal citizenship in the United States for nearly three decades, and his daughter — who is a U.S. citizen — had recently filed for permission to allow him to remain in the country as the relative of a citizen. But in March, while those applications were pending, the government ordered him to report for removal.

The case was brought to the attention of Hawaii's congressional delegation who lobbied for the farmer to remain in the country.

But in May, Ortiz gained national attention after his lawyers appealed the order in San Francisco's Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Judge Stephen Reinhardt blasted the Trump administration's decision to deport Ortiz, calling it "inhumane."

"President Trump has claimed that his immigration policies would target the 'bad hombres,'" Reinhardt said. "The government decision in the immigration case shows that even the 'good hombres' are not safe."

Despite his personal opinions about Ortiz's case, Reinhardt said he was forced to turn down the request to delay the deportation "because we do not have the authority to grant it."

He added that, as a judge, he understood why he had to enforce the order but, as a citizen, he struggled to see the merits of breaking up a family.

"He will be returned to Mexico, having spent 28 years successfully building a life and family in this country," Reinhardt said. "The government forces us to participate in ripping apart a family."

It could be up to 10 years before Ortiz is allowed back in the country, KNHL said.

Add him to the list.

Father of ‘Kate’s Law’ Namesake Doesn’t Want Her Name Used in Immigration Debate

The father of California woman Kate Steinle doesn’t want her name used in the ugly political debate over immigration.

“You just hope it ends someday,” Jim Steinle told The San Francisco Chronicle on Friday. “I don’t know when.”

“I don’t know who coined ‘Kate’s Law,’” Jim Steinle said. “It certainly wasn’t us.

His family aren’t hardliners when it comes to when it comes to immigration policy, one way or the other. In a 2015 interview with the Chronicle, they said they actually supported the idea of sanctuary cities.

“We didn’t have a stance against sanctuary city,” Jim said. “We wanted to make darn sure that people understand that because that’s kind of the hot-button issue locally.”

US deportations of Europeans could exceed last fiscal year
US deportations of Europeans could exceed last fiscal year

Europeans often hid in plain sight as Latin Americans, Asians and others living illegally in America were sent packing. But now they’re starting to realize they are not immune to President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, and they’re worried.

The number of Europeans deported this federal fiscal year from the United States could surpass last fiscal year’s total, according to figures provided to The Associated Press by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

From Oct. 2, 2016 through June 24, more than 1,300 Europeans have been removed, compared with 1,450 during all of federal fiscal year 2016 — the last under President Barack Obama. The agency didn’t provide estimates broken down by calendar year.

In San Jose, California, an HIV-positive Russian asylum seeker faces possible deportation after overstaying his visa. In Chicago, Polish and Irish community groups say they’re seeing inquiries about immigration and citizenship-related services surge as people seek legal protections.

And in Boston, John Cunningham, a well-known Irishman who had overstayed his visa by 14 years, was sent back to Ireland last week, sending shivers through the city’s sizeable Irish expat community.

“People are very, very concerned and lying low,” says Ronnie Millar, of the Boston-based Irish International Immigrant Center. “The message is that if it can happen to John, it can happen to anyone.”

Europeans comprise about 440,000 of the estimated 11 million people living illegally in the United States, according to the Migration Policy Institute.

Since just before Trump was elected last November, the U.S. has deported 167,350 foreigners, compared with 240,255 in all of fiscal year 2016. Immigrants from Latin America make up the most by far, with Mexico leading the way at about 93,000.

Among Europeans, Romanians make up the largest share, with 193 deportations so far in fiscal year 2017. Behind are Spain at 117; the United Kingdom at 102; Russia at 81; and Poland at 74. Those countries were also tops last fiscal year; Romania had 176, United Kingdom 160, Poland 160, Spain 115 and Russia 94.

Immigrant advocates say they’ve been urging individuals to know their rights if they’re stopped and for parents to make arrangements for their children in the event they’re detained.

“The worst aspect of these numbers from our perspective is that our community organizations do not know who is being deported and why, and are unable to send immigration attorneys to assist them,” says Dmitri Daniel Glinski, president of the Russian-Speaking Community Council of Manhattan and the Bronx.

In California, San Jose resident Denis Davydov was detained for more than a month after returning from a vacation in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

He was eventually released after his lawyer argued Davydov was legally allowed to re-enter because he’s currently seeking political asylum for being gay and HIV-positive. But he could be forced to return to Russia if his request is denied.

Davydov says the experience of being detained — and the uncertainty it has thrust into his asylum application — has left him feeling vulnerable.

“Before this, I thought I was a doing everything right, but I’m afraid now that doing everything right is not enough. I don’t know what else I can do,” he said. “I feel like it can happen again to me anywhere. In the airport or in the street.”

At the Polish American Association in Chicago, executive director Magdalena Dolas said her organization has been asked to give talks about what residents should do if immigration officials show up at their doorstep.

“People are worrying about their rights,” she said. “It shows there is awareness but that there is also anxiety.”

The Chicago Irish Immigrant Support Center has been receiving triple the number of inquiries on immigration and legal service matters these days as it did a year ago, said Michael Collins, executive director.

There have been 18 deportations among Irish nationwide in the current fiscal year, compared with 26 in all of last fiscal year, according to the ICE data.

Cunningham’s case has still become a cautionary tale among Irish expats in Boston’s Irish community.

“The rumor has gone around, ’Don’t go in any courthouses, and if you hear a knock on your door and you’re not expecting anyone, don’t answer it,” said Benny Murphy, a 32-year-old bartender in Boston who had been living in this country illegally until about three years ago, when he married a woman who is a U.S. citizen.

Many believe Cunningham simply forgot the golden rule of living in the shadows: Keep your head down.

Months before his arrest, he Associated Press News.

ICE detainee who hanged himself had history of mental health problems

The Panamanian national who hanged himself in an immigration detention center in South Georgia in May had a history of suicide attempts and had been institutionalized before the federal government took custody of him and placed him in solitary confinement for 19 days, according to records obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Authorities at the privately run Stewart Detention Center should have known about Jean Jimenez-Joseph’shistory and his battles with schizophrenia because he had previously been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility by Wake County, N.C., authorities, said his family’s attorney. Those county authorities participate in a federal immigration enforcement program called 287(g).

The Wake Sheriff’s Office declined to comment, saying Jimenez’s medical records are not public. A spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said his agency is investigating Jimenez’s death and whether officials at Stewart knew about his medical history.

Jimenez is among more than 170 people who have died in U.S. immigration detention centers since 2003, according to Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement, or CIVIC, which wants to end immigration detention in this country.

Willard father says goodbye to wife and four children in deportation crackdown

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Jesus Lara Lopez had tears in his eyes this morning as he said goodbye to his wife and four children and went to meet immigration agents who took him to a waiting Delta flight at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to return him to Mexico.

Lara Lopez, 37, is an undocumented immigrant who has been living in the United States since 2001 working various jobs including picking crops and most recently, packing cookies and crackers for Pepperidge Farms in Willard, Ohio.

He was caught by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through a police tip in 2008, but was permitted to stay and work in the country -- even after a 2011 deportation order was issued.

His family and about a dozen supporters were at the airport this morning to say farewell to a man who was never charged with a crime in America and had spent the past 16 years working, worshiping and raising a family. His children were born Americans.

[Scoop]

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been instructed to place any undocumented immigrant they encounter in deportation proceedings regardless of their criminal history, according to an internal agency memo obtained by ProPublica.

Every illegal immigrant is a criminal by definition.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Every illegal immigrant is a criminal by definition.

First of all a human being cannot be illegal.

Secondly, the act of committing a crime does not allow you to call someone an "illegal" (see first point).

An undocumented immigrant with no criminal history is no more of a criminal than you are. You speed. You jaywalk. You stream channels you don't pay for. The act of overstaying a visa or crossing the border does not deserve the designation of "illegal" human and therefore should not brand said individual as "a criminal".

We've gone down this road before. There is a reason why your party publicly stated they were going after criminals and "bad hombres".

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Tuesday evening that applicants for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants will be required to certify that they'll cooperate with federal immigration enforcement more extensively than in the past, a move that is likely to generate court challenges quickly from advocates and state and local jurisdictions who have opposed President Donald Trump's efforts.
Among the requirements: Letting federal authorities access detainees in jails to inquire about immigration status and giving the federal government 48 hours' notice before any inmate they're interested in is released

Imagine being detained for 48hours over a non criminal offense.
