At 3am, my staff woke up to an urgent call. Suddenly, and in the dead of night, ICE was set to deport Rockland County’s beloved Paul Pierrilus to Haiti, a country where he has never been.
And there was nothing we could do to stop it.

If this story sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Just two weeks ago, my staff successfully halted Paul’s deportation at the last second, after ICE failed to provide evidence that his deportation was valid.

It is not legal to send Paul to Haiti, because he is not a Haitian citizen. This fact is not in dispute. Don’t take it from me — take it from the Haitian Ambassador.

ICE is a rogue agency. With the help of right-wing operatives on the federal bench, ICE is choosing to ignore @POTUS’ deportation moratorium.
ICE must be brought to heel. My community is tired of seeing our family members, our friends, and our neighbors ripped from their homes.

Paul should be with his family right now in Rockland County.
I will not rest until he is, and until we have built a humane, just immigration system. #BringPaulHome
