    Rick Eldridge, a State Representative from Tennessee, led a group of 30 other Tennessee legislators in sending a letter to the Deputy Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The letter asks for leniency in the deportation of the Romeike family from Morristown, Tennessee, who are facing deportation to Germany. The legislators note that a court has allowed the family to stay indefinitely if they check in regularly with ICE, which they have been doing. The letter requests that ICE review the family's circumstances and allow them more time to remain in Tennessee, where they have been contributing to the community.

    Duties of The Director
    Immigration and Customs Enforcement
    500 12th Street S.W.

    Dear Director Lechleitner:

    Please accept this letter from the following members of the Tennessee General Assembly
    on behalf of the Romeike family, of Morristown, Tennessee, who is facing deportation to
    Germany.

    We are asking you and your office to give this family a chance to continue building their
    lives in Tennessee. It is our understanding a court has ruled they are allowed to stay
    indefinitely, as long as they fulfill their obligation of checking in as ordered by ICE. To
    our knowledge they have been faithful in doing so.

    To uproot this family who has been contributing to our city, county and state in many
    ways seems unduly cruel and unnecessary. As time is of the essence, we ask that a
    review of their circumstances be made and at least give this family more time.

    We appreciate your time and serious consideration of this request. If we can be of any
    assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

    10th Legislative District, Grainger and part of Hamblen Counties
