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.
