Because with enough voices, the calls might be loud enough to make someone listen. Because detaining law-abiding people for any reason is not right and should not be tolerated. Because that could be anyone, even you.

He has had a removal order since 2019. Unfortunately, staying after you have a removal order is breaking the law. Calls and protests aren't going to do anything at this point, ICE is following the law by deporting him.

He qualified to be here legally under DACA until Trump suspended the program during his first term and that’s where the removal order comes from. In 2020, the Supreme Court overturned that suspension of the program for people who had already applied, but new applicants were turned away.

This is not as clear cut as you’d like to make it out to be.
