An immigration judge ordered Jimmy Al-Daoud, 41, deported despite the fact he had lived in the U.S. almost his entire life.
Niraj WarikooJimmy Aldaoud, 41, was deported to Iraq in June, said ACLU. He died on Aug. 6, 2019, according to U.S. Rep. Andy Levin of MichiganDETROIT – Forty years ago, Jimmy Al-Daoud came from Greece to the U.S. legally as a 6-month-old baby, along with his Iraqi Christian parents, who were refugees.
For the past two years, Iraqi-American Christian leaders in Michigan have said that deporting Chaldeans back to Iraq would be a virtual death sentence. Al-Daoud's death on Tuesday has confirmed their fears, say advocates. It's unclear whether Al-Daoud was born in Iraq or Greece, said the ACLU. Some documents show he was born in Greece, others in Iraq.
In 2008, Al-Daoud had a stroke of luck when he won $20,000 in a Michigan lottery contest called"Strike it Rich."Jeremiah Suleiman, of Sterling Heights holds a sign among dozens during a rally to stop the deportation of Iraqi-American immigrants outside Patrick V. McNamara Federal building on Friday, June 16, 2017 in Detroit. An ACLU lawsuit seeks to block the possible deportation of 1,400 Iraqi nationals around the country.
Before President Donald Trump took office, they were allowed to stay, but the Trump administration sought to remove them after striking a deal with Iraq to take them back. Many were able to have their cases reheard in immigration courts and temporarily had their deportations halted, but in December, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the ACLU, saying the deportations could not be blocked.
