The deportation order has been officially rescinded and Shiekh is finally on his way home to his family. This outcome reminds me that persistence remains our most powerful tool when facing systemic injustice. We will continue to watch his recovery and legal transition closely as he reunites with his son.

Started by Shiekh Nyang 6 years, 2 months ago

Shiekh Nyang, A DACA recipient with no criminal conviction has been detained in ICE for over 2 years with no bail. He has been approved for DACA and ordered to take his Biometrics so he can be released but instead ICE officers are trying to illegally deport him back to Gambia on July 28th just so he doesn't finish the process. Shiekh has a Wife and a 8 year old son that needs him and has all right to stay in this country because he's been here since a child and committed NO crime. He also have underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure. Shiekh also has a pending i-130 through the sponsorship of his Wife and shouldn't be deported but ICE rather try to illegally deport him instead of following the laws they put into place. Shiekh has his Mother, his siblings here, his whole family is here he has no one back in Gambia. It's even more hard for him because his lawyer took his money and disappeared without filing any paperwork for him. Please help us sign this petition and stop the deportation of Shiekh Nyang.

Mr Sheikh Nyang should be given the legal due process to continue with his approved DACA process to upgrade his status .

Free my Brother ..he's no criminal but it seems like the biggest crime is being an immigrant .. illegal or legal ..and that's inhumane ..he had his wife and child that needs him.. America is all he knows ..give him his life back he deserves it ..do the right thing and don't violate this man

I'm very disappointed in ICE, they have cap this young man detained for 2 years with no bond, he has a child here in the US that he hasn't seen in over two and a half years I'm the child's grandmother and it's a shame that he's not able to see his father because of the system. He has no prior record, and he need to be released.

Shiekh Nyang is a loving, caring man who does not deserve the lengthy unlawful detainment he’s enduring. He’s cleared of all his charges at this point and has served his time and then some. Shiekh is Loved and missed dearly! His Wife, Son, and Family anxiously await his return. ICE should take the time to review his case and allow him to reunite with his family.
