would you mind telling what was your dad accused of because going to jail? I was recently in jail because of a traffic ticket, the rear end light of my car didn't work, and I am really worried that they might come after me??..

if you think they can't put u in jail for that.... think again...

That was it. No Driver's license and the light. I did have insurance. I had no warrant, I asked the officer why he was arresting, he said he was not going to tell me, until I was taken there. When he putted the handcuffs on me, I told him, "sir you can't arrest me just because of this", and he said to me, oh yes I can.
I know that is not how it should be, but that is what happened, and there was nothing I could do. Once in jail they started asking me questions, immigration question such was, was I a legal citizen, and where was I born.. I refused to answers all questions about immigration, and they held me on a separate cell until I tell them, with no bed, no phone, nothing.. it was really cold in there.. I also was denied a phone call, they said I could only have a phone call after I answer all their questions, .. because of the fact that I was being accused of a Level C misdemeanor. And then I refused to answers still, for at least two days, then they threatened me on calling ICE on me if I didn't tell them, i told them then. After an officer threatened, he said to me, "We are not Irving Police you know", that gave me a sense of relief. The whole time I was freaking out because of the situation I was in, at the end, they didn't do anything, someone bailed me out and I got out, I was there for 3 days. Until I told answered all their questions they transferred me to another cell, with a phone, and a bed. It was scary dude, that happened just last week. After I read the tread this morning, I started to get worried, and the whole day I been freaking out too.

By the way, In Irving, they don't care if you are accused of passing a stop sign, or light broken, they will deport you, as for what I know, no major crime needed there. I hope this open your eyes to see what situation I am in, and why I am so worried . It is hard for me to talk about this

Wow this is crazy! I hope you feel better and at least it didn't happen to you. I mean you got lucky because it could've been you but then again if they were to take my father it would be one of the most painful things that could ever happen so I understand you...

Damn... the system is FUCKED up.

Poor thing, I am sorry that you have to go through this. Hopefully in the coming months, ICE will stop being the bully that it was during the Bush regime, but I doubt it.

I've heard that ICE are working really hard now on catching undocumented immigrants in Miami. It's a bad place to be right now.

ok ive read somewhere that if you get a petittion going and you get enought people to sign you might be able to keep him in the country.
honestlyy, i dont know much about it but i will get on it right away. im really sorry to hear this but you need to find a place where you and your family will be safe. if there is anything we can do, let us know.
have you contacted an immigration activist yet? maybe they can help you out somehow. I dont know exactly what you feel but my father was deported a couple of years ago and i still remember what that felt like. its heart breaking, and it makes you realize how much we take everything in our lives for granted. i was only 11 years old back then and it was a huge burden. from the bottom of my heart i hope this situation turns upside down so we can get your family back together.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
