Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA-12) successfully reached out to immigration officials and asked to delay the deportation of Shirley Tan so she can assemble more facts on Shirley’s case.
.
While this action will delay Shirley’s deportation for a few weeks, passage of the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) will be necessary to ensure that Jaylynn “Jay” Mercado and Shirley can keep their family intact in their home in Pacifica, CA.
.
Immigration Equality commends Congresswoman Speier’s support for the right of Shirley and Jay and their children to stay together, as well as her support for the rights of thousands of binational lesbian and gay couples nationwide through her cosponsorship of UAFA.
