I just found out my friend Matias Ramos, a DREAMer who many of you met at Netroots Nation '10 in Las Vegas after he got one of the DFA scholarships, has been forced by ICE to wear an ankle bracelet at all times and may be deported any day now.
After years of fighting for the DREAM Act and an opportunity to gain legal status, Matias Ramos was told by immigration authorities to leave the country in less than 14 days. Last week, during his weekly check-in with ICE, Matias was informed he would be placed in an intensive supervision program which requires him to wear a monitoring bracelet around his ankle at all times, and charge it against a wall for three hours a day.
Please sign the petition and call whoever you can to stop this insanity. Matias recently graduated from UCLA and has been working tirelessly to reform our nation's screwed up immigration system.
