Saem Pok is being deported back to Cambodia under a 1996 law that requires mandatory deportations for permanent alien residents convicted of a felony, the law has since been expanded to deporting for minor crimes, such as urinating in public or DUI.
According to statistics from the INS, close to 1400 Cambodian-American refugees have orders of removal for deportation. Saem's case is explained here http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-492522
Years ago Saem served a sentence for a crime and since then he became a working taxpayer with a family. Saem is the sole provider for for his disabled and legally blind finance and his two children.He has repaid his debts to society and rebuilt his life, with a steady job, family and children.
Saem is clearly not a good candidate for detainment or deportation. His detainment has converted a productive taxpayer and his family into state burdens
Stop the deportation of Saem Pok
Target: The President of the United States, The U.S. Senate, The U.S. House of Representatives, John Morton (DHS Assistant Secretary), and Janet Naplitano (DHS Secretary). Also, Oregon Senators, ICE Judge and more.

If you could please fulfill this humble request and take a minute to read through this and another minute to just sign it, it would be greatly appreciated. Petition to stop deportation of Saem Pok back to Cambodia and cancel removal request.
Saem is currently being held in a Tacoma ICE and may soon be deported back to the killing fields of Cambodia,which he is a survivor of, having lived in this country since the age of 6. Please sign this petition to send a message to INS, that this is a human rights issue, and Saem should be released immediately to his family and friends in this country, so he can become a citizen, resolve his legal issues, resume working, and have the chance to attain freedom and pursue a better life.
