I just received the news that Luis is finally able to stay home with us. I am completely overwhelmed by this result and I know this happened only because you chose to care about my family. Thank you for giving us our life back.

The US Immigration office is attempting to unlawfully deport my father in law Luis O. Torres. They are allowed to make decisions and not have to give reason why due to the new Homeland Security Laws. The decision that was made was based on wrongful information, and the US immigration office considers him deportable. Luis\' application to stay in the USA has been denied, and the US immigration office wants him to return to Brazil. Luis\' wife of 25 years is a US citizen, His son is a permanent resident, myself and his 2 grandchildren are both US citizens. Please support us in our efforts to collect signatures to support Luis\' stay with us in the USA. A place that has been his home for over 20 years. The US immigration office has to know that we are serious. Thank you so much.

I am truly overwhelmed by the kindness shown to my family. This momentum has reached levels I never thought possible and I continue to be amazed by the support Luis has received from so many strangers.

This is just wrong. He has been here 20 years and has a family that loves him. Let him stay.

My heart goes out to the torres family. nobody deserves to have their lives uprooted like this after 20 yrs.
