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.
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.
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.
