Look at this picture. Save it. Burn it into your brain and never fucking forget it.Kansas elementary school student Fareed Jamal drew it for his dad, Dr. Syed Jamal, who is in jail and facing deportation to Bangladesh. His family watched ICE drag him away on his front lawn as he was taking his little girl to school in Lawrence. They wouldn’t let his wife and kids hug him goodbye.Dr. Jamal has worked in the US for 30 years as a molecular biologist and has done research with the University of Kansas, Children’s Mercy, and Rockhurst University. He volunteers at his children’s schools. He is a leader within his faith community. He leaves behind his wife and three children. They are “devastated and fearful.” They have no other source of income.We should remember President Donald J. Trumppromised us this. And our entire Kansas Congressional delegation ignored his racist, hate-filled rhetoric towards immigrants of color and gave him their full support to win the Presidency. All so they could get tax cuts for their campaign donors. Senator Jerry Moran, Senator Pat Roberts,Congressman Kevin Yoder, Lynn Jenkins,Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D., Congressman Ron Estes, and everyone else who supported Donald Trump’s candidacy: history will remember you for your complicity. It will remember all of us for failing to stop this racist assault on immigrant families.There’s still a shred of hope for Dr. Jamal. The least you can do is share this petition:https://www.change.org/p/ice-help-to-stop-the-deportation-of-syed-jamalAnd we still have a DACA fight to win. There are hundreds of thousands of people left to protect. Keep fighting. I’ll leave you with what Dr. Jamal’s son wrote in a plea for support from Kansans:“My name is Taseen Jamal, and my father has recently been arrested, taken to the Morgan County, MO, jail, and is being considered for deportation. My little brother cries every night, my sister can’t focus in school, and I cannot sleep at night. My mother is in trauma, and because she is a live organ donor, she only has one kidney, so the stress is very dangerous. She could die if he is deported. If my father is deported, my siblings and I may never get to see him again. He is an older man, and due to the conditions of his home country, he might not be able to survive.My father called us, and he was crying like a little child because he was thinking about what would happen to us if he got deported. If he gets sent back to Bangladesh, his home country, he will be in grave danger, and people of his kind are persecuted there. My dad could likely would face persecution or even death at the hands of radical Islamist extremist gangs back in Bangladesh due to his liberal and secular writings and postings on social media platforms and publications. We are the children of Syed Ahmed Jamal, and we are requesting on behalf of our family for your kind help to get back our father. A home is not a home without a father.” -- source link
