Hello Folks,
Thanks for helping to promote our efforts to call ICE to stop Gurmukh Singh’s deportation and ensure that Mr. Singh is able to permanently reunite with his family. Please continue the calls to ICE!
Yesterday, during the 9th Circuit mediation, the San Francisco Office of Chief Counsel refused to reopen and administratively close Mr. Singh’s case. We have until Friday to make sure they don’t separate Mr. Singh from his loving family.
LET ICE KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT STAND FOR THE SINGHS TO BE PERMANENTLY SEPARATED.
Continue to call ICE (both D.C. AND San Francisco) TODAY, Tuesday, November 19, using the script below. Please make sure to share the graphic, courtesy of 18millionrising.org with the following message.
Call BOTH:
John Sandweg, Acting ICE Director: (202)732-3000
Leslie Ungerman, SF Chief Counsel: (415) 705-4604
Tell them:
“Hi my name is ____. I’m calling to ask ICE to agree to reopen and administratively close Gurmukh Singh’s case, A# 077-432-044, under Director Sandweg’s August 2014 parental interests directive. Although Gurmukh was released from detention after 5 ½ months, he still faces imminent deportation and separation from his family. I strongly urge you to exercise prosecutorial discretion and administratively close Gurmukh’s case. Gurmukh is the parent and primary caretaker of two minor U.S. citizen children and his elderly parents, is married to a U.S. citizen, and is a contributing member to the community. His deportation will cause emotional, psychological, and financial hardship to his children and family. Please do not let the Singh family be separated. I urge you to administratively close Gurmukh’s case. Thank you."
Please contact, Policy Advocate, Anthony Ng at a...@advancingjustice-la.org if you have any questions.
Together we will advance justice for the Singh family and permanently reunite them.
Best,

I’ve also attached a jpg version of the script, please share this image on your social media. The pdf version is also included if you would like to print hard copies. We want to ensure that we are able to make as many calls as possible so that the Singhs can finally move on with their lives and achieve their dream of family unity. Those calls will make a difference in the life of Mr. Singh and his loving family.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact, Asian Americans Advancing Justice-LA Policy Advocate, Anthony Ng at a...@advancingjustice-la.org .
Once again, thank you!
