Petition of Cambodian Americans, Immigrants and Refugees living in the United States of America regarding the Detention and Deportation of Cambodian refugees with criminal records by the Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE)

We, the undersigned Cambodian Americans, Immigrants and Refugees living in Massachusetts and all over the United States of America would like to submit this petition to the United States government which firmly expresses the following:

* We denounce the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) sweeps and raids in our communities and the deportation of 15 Cambodian refugees on August 14, 2008.

* We strongly urge the United States government to abolish the current unjust immigration laws whose only purpose is to detain and deport the Cambodian refugee with criminal records who served his or her sentence for his or her crime.

* We believe that once a person served their sentences for their crimes they must be able to live their rehabilitated lives here in the United States of America with their loved ones.

* We strongly urge the United States government to spend resources to prevent people from committing crime rather than spending it to break families apart by detaining and deporting them.

* We are asking the Cambodian Consulate and the Cambodian Embassy to take a stand and conduct an investigation to advocate on behalf of the community and not to sign off on any more deportation.

* We appeal to all Cambodian Americans, Immigrants and Refugees all over the United States to come together to bring change to this unjust immigration systems.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
