Christian M’Bagoyi first came to the U.S. over 20 years ago from West Africa seeking asylum, which was denied. A removal order has been in place since, but in the last two decades Christian has put down roots in this country working as a carpenter and buying a home with his wife in South Philadelphia.
This the fourth time Christian has been detained by ICE, but this is the furthest the process has ever escalated.
Advocacy groups are racing and reaching the ears of Congressional leaders, the White House and their ultimate hope the leadership at the Department of Homeland Security. "He’s married to a U.S. citizen, his children are U.S. citizens, he’s been here 20 years… This makes no sense to break up this family," said Andy Kang, Executive Director of PA Immigration & Citizenship Coalition. "There absolutely is a way to stop this. The president has the authority and Homeland Security has that authority."
