“After 30 years of living in the U.S, Garcia, a 39-year-old Lincoln Park landscaper, was deported on MLK Day from Detroit Metro Airport to Mexico, a move supporters say was another example of immigrants being unfairly targeted under the Trump administration.
Jorge Garcia was brought to the U.S. by an undocumented family member when he was 10 years old. Today he has a wife and two children,, all of whom are U.S. citizens.
Garcia had been facing an order of removal from immigration courts since 2009, but under the previous administration, he had been given stays of removal. But because of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration, Garcia was ordered in November to return to Mexico. His supporters say he has no criminal record - not even a traffic ticket - and pays taxes ever year.
Nevertheless, Garcia had to be removed, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On Monday morning, accompanied by ICE agents at Detroit Metro Airport, Garcia went through security as supporters around him held up signs that read, "Stop Separating Families."
