‼️Friends in Houston, HELP. ‼️
This afternoon we learned an Afghani family who arrived here last night on special visas are being held, and in the process of being deported, at Houston Airport.
We need you to get to Houston airport NOW & demand they be allowed legal counsel.

It’s a family of 7. The dad is 48 & was an interpreter for US military in Afghanistan.
His wife is 46. Kids are 19, 17, 12, 10 and 6.
They came here on an “SIV,” the incredibly hard to get visa granted to people whose lives were threatened by serving in Afghanistan.

However, apparently they opened an envelope w/medical records that they were told not to open.
For that, they are being deported. Not only that, CBP won’t let us provide legal counsel.
We’re in arrival area & we won’t leave until we can speak to the family.
Please join us.
