The Escarraga family – including Sara and her 4 children – have been issued 2 year Temporary Resident Permits after community members rallied support to stop their deportation.
Their deportation scheduled for July 3, 2024 was stopped because hundreds of people wrote letters to Prime Minister Trudeau and Immigration Minister Marc Miller calling on the federal government to take action.
Prime Minister Trudeau promised regularization – permanent resident status for undocumented people – in December 2021. Had the promise been kept, this family would not have gone through this crisis.
