A disconcerting injustice is stirring in America, the land of the free. A friend and model citizen, Evelyn Gonzalez, is being deported. Though she is not a legal residence of the United States, she has personified what it is to truly be American over the twenty-plus years that she has lived in the United States, through hard-work and a consistent moral behavior. This is a petition to prevent the impending deportation of Evelyn Gonzalez, a person who has exemplified the kind of person that is desired and sorely needed in America today. THE FACTS: Evelyn was born in Guatemala in February of 1985. The fallowing year her parents immigrated to the United States, to escape the impoverished and civil-war ravaged Guatemala. Evelyn is now twenty-two years old. Over the years that she has resided in America, Evelyn attended Lexington (Nebraska) Public Schools. In high school she was involved in several extra-curricular activities, including soccer, cheerleading, pep club, and the Governor

The bureaucrats at Immigration and Customs Enforcement are still refusing to answer our calls while they prepare to tear Evelyn away from the only home she has ever known. They think they can just shove this under the rug and hope we go away quietly but they are dead wrong. We are going to make this so loud that they cannot ignore the human cost of their cold and spineless policies.

Evelyn has been here since she was a baby. Nebraska is the only home she knows. This is just wrong.

She grew up in our school system and is a productive member of our community. Why are we wasting resources on this?

My heart breaks for her. She didnt choose to come here as a child but she chose to be a great person while she was here.

I went to school with her in Lexington. She is genuinely one of the good ones. Leave her alone!
