Dear DREAM Supporter,

Last week we were able to stop the deportation of Marlen, a mother of two and an Arizona DREAMer. This week we are faced with the task of stopping yet another deportation, Ivan a 22 year old Russian DREAMer from Michigan. Ivan, like Marlen had, has spent the last three months in a county jail. On August 6th, as we were all celebrating the win over Marlen's deportation, Ivan was getting the news that his mother had just been deported and that it would soon be his turn.

His crime? Missing a court date in 2002 when he was just 12 years old!

Ivan immigrated to the United States from Russia when he was just 11 years old, he does not remember much about the journey to America, nor did he even know he was undocumented until he was 15 and asking his parents about getting a drivers permit. Ivan embodies what it means to be an American and it would be a shame to deport him.

Ivan will be deported any day now. Take action now to reunite Ivan with his family and to show congress why we need the DREAM Act now. We are aiming to send 3,000 faxes to DHS, think we can do it?

If you are facebook or twitter change your status to read: "RT: Stop deportation of another DREAM Student. Ivan, 22 from MI to be deported any day now! www.bit.ly/helpivan"

Thank you,

It would be hard. Marlen had two US citizens as her children. Ivan has no one that depend on him.

It might be hard, but if we don't try, then his chances of getting deported are THAT much higher. Just fill out the information, and pass it along to others.

Weird story. He came here when he was 11 years old and doesn't remember about the journey? not only that, but he barely speaks the language???? that doesn't make sense to me at all. I got here when I was 11 as well and we're complete opposites.
