They Deport Valedictorians, Don't They?

March 05, 2012 (1 min read)

If you thought the Morton Memo was too good to be true, you were right.

ICE and EOIR have their sights set on Daniela Pelaez, the valedictorian at North Miami Senior High with a 6.7 GPA and a U.S. citizen brother who served in the Army in Afghanistan.  She's been here since she was four years old, and has no memory of her 'home' in Colombia.

No prosecutorial discretion for her!

Senator Bill Nelson wants to know why.

The Miami-Dade Superintendent of Schools, Alberto Carvalho, vowed, "Over my dead body will this child be deported."

Have we lost our minds?
