"Kamal Morales lived in Jamaica and worked as a counselor at the Community Healthcare Network South Bronx clinic, helping HIV patients connect to health insurance and treatment, giving them the best chance at long, healthy lives."
"Despite showing up at required immigration check-ins, having no criminal record, and marrying his husband, Morales faced deportation after the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans."
"United States District Judge Michael J. McShane ruled that the government was unable to effect Morales' removal, yet he was re-detained without appropriate process before being deported to Venezuela."
Kamal Morales, a 40-year-old counselor at a South Bronx clinic, was deported to Venezuela after being detained during an immigration check. He had previously fled Venezuela in 2019 and faced numerous challenges in securing legal status. Despite his efforts to comply with immigration requirements, including regular check-ins and maintaining a job, he was ultimately denied asylum. A judge ruled that his re-detention was inappropriate, but he was deported before the government could respond. Community members are rallying to support him in this difficult situation.
