Jose Luis Sanchez-Ronquillo is a devoted husband and father to two young children. For 16 years, he has worked hard at the same job and was recently promoted to a manager position. Jose has no criminal record. In fact, he's a beloved member of his Ann Arbor neighborhood.
Until a last minute stay granted this morning, ICE officials had intended to permanently tear Jose apart from his family, work, neighborhood and city – all of whom desperately want him to stay and have gained support from Ann Arbor Mayor John Hieftje, Senator Carl Levin, the Washtenaw Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights (WICIR), Michigan United and DreamActivists.
A vigil and community support event for the family has been scheduled for tonight at 4:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room at Bach Elementary School in Ann Arbor. Find out more about Jose's case here.
Jose Luis’ case is a textbook example of our broken immigration system and the urgent need for immigration reform. While one family is no longer torn apart, thousands of others are living under the same fear that Jose Luis and his family were facing until just this morning. Immigration reform cannot wait any longer.
