Facts on Pol Brennan
Pol has lived in the US since
1984 when he met and married an American citizen, In 2000 he
and 3 others won the right to stay and work in the US after
the British Government withdrew extradition proceedings
against Pol and 3 other defendants for Political actions in
the north of Ireland they were granted hearings to apply for
political asylum which are still ongoing Pol has since 2000
lived and worked openly in the bay area of California.
Pol is not undocumented, he
has a work authorization application in the system since
2006 but has not received this permit nor has he been
refused this permit, he was stopped and imprisoned on a
bureaucratic mistake that has escalated to an inactive
deportation order being activated which is completely
ignoring the order from the court that he could stay until a
political asylum hearing can be heard.
Pol is in solitary
confinement in a federal detention center in Texas and is
likely to remain there at least until September. Please
contact your local elected representatives and ask, why are
former Irish political activists being targeted by Homeland
Security? They are no threat they have found new lives and
new loves here in the US and wish only to be allowed to live
in peace with their families.
