Progressive Victory Announcement on the Deportation of Martin Soto

Last week at New Jersey’s DemCon, we were introduced to Gabriela Soto, who was in attendance seeking the aid of anyone who could help end her husband's unjust imprisonment and stop his impending deportation. Progressive Victory members, including our Political Director @katiebansil4nj and members of our New Jersey Team, contacted Senator @CoryBooker and solicited his help reaching out to New Jersey @GovSherrillNJ. Martin had been held in brutal conditions at the private Delaney Hall ICE detention center and is a key witness to ICE’s abuses there, and we are proud to share that our efforts convinced Governor Sherill to instruct her attorney general to sign Soto’s u-visa.

I am honored and proud that our growing community organization has reached the point where we can accomplish things like this. Our mission is to build a better Democratic Party by empowering young online voices to bring new perspectives to the party. During the primaries we do so by pushing aggressively and loudly for new leadership. At all other times, we seek to work collaboratively, recognizing that even those our side of the left traditionally casts as political adversaries are doing what they view to be their best to improve our country. It is that mission that drove Katie Bansil’s actions.

Martin’s wife, Gabriela Soto, made contact with a PV member at DemCon through a mutual acquaintance, and he and Katie used every tool at their disposal to get them the aid they needed. Our thanks goes to Senator Cory Booker for immediately taking this seriously, and to Governor Sherill who we hope will continue to be a friend to immigrants and take action against the remaining injustices at Delaney Hall. While Progressive Victory and the many other organizations involved in advancing cases like Martin’s can help individuals, only our leaders can truly put a stop to these heinous conditions.

Our greatest thanks goes to Martin and Gabriela Soto. Martin endured viciously inhumane conditions at Delaney Hall, including months of solitary confinement, and did not waver. Gabriela worked tirelessly to reestablish contact with her husband and to secure his release. Their story is the story of immigrants everywhere who come into contact with ICE’s Republican barbarism, and our victory is their victory. We stand with the protestors and the families and call with them for Delaney Hall’s closure, *now.*

@pb29110 @JoshEakle None of these people had a personal relationship with the veterans. If my grandfather was a german soldier in WW2 i wouldn't be in a cemetery with a bunch of swastikas saying the holocaust was overblown. This is deeper than celebrating the deceased, this is celebrating the regime

@Now_Concerned @mattvanswol It's this backed up by criminal justice data or is it just your idea of "common sense"

@TinyTon_e @RichRedVoices @PaulEmbery If someone makes a life in a country and the community he joins wants to elect him to office they should be allowed to. Granted I am an American, I've got no place to make a blood and soil argument for my country. It is funny though seeing a Brit complain about foreign rulers

[JMLD @Jovan_of_AEA]

@TinyTon_e @RichRedVoices @PaulEmbery So if i a student gets a job offer, they have to go back to their country in order to accept it? You're really pulling out all the stops to try to get rid of this guy huh

I believe the American people understand that we are stronger because of the NATO Alliance.

America cannot retreat from the world – America must lead it.

We are the indispensable nation.

Bloke from the BBC decided to give one of the former colonies a jolly good lecture on carbon emissions.

The reply, from the president of Guyana to the paternalistic hypocrisy & double standards of The West, is truly priceless.
