Help: Minhaz Has to Wear An Ankle Bracelet and Could Be Deported Back to Bangladesh

URGENT: On Friday, November 4th, Minhaz was forced to wear an electronic ankle bracelet and has to present a one-way plane ticket to Bangladesh, a country he hasn’t been to in 20 years, on November 18th!

Minhaz’s father lost his asylum case as a result of the negligence and wrongful advice of his attorney. He was deported back to Bangladesh where he was murdered for his political affiliations. Now Minhaz has to go through the traumatic experience of fighting his deportation to a country where he could suffer the same fate.

Please take immediate action to stop Minhaz’s deportation!

Just days after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) held that DREAM Act student Shamir Ali was a “fugitive alien,” Ali was released from detention thanks to outpouring support. His mom was less lucky — she was deported back to Bangladesh in 2009 for driving without a license.
