Kansas chemistry instructor arrested by ICE while taking his daughter to school

His family says they couldn’t even tell him goodbye.

Immigration officials arrested Syed Ahmed Jamal in his Lawrence front yard on Jan. 24 while he was taking his daughter to school.

The 7th-grade girl ran into the house to alert her mother and brother, while Jamal, a chemist, was handcuffed and led into a car. When his wife tried to hug him, an agent said she could be charged with interfering in an arrest, said son Taseen Jamal, 14.

Late on Feb. 1, supporters of his dad posted Syed Jamal’s story online. In two days, a campaign had collected more than 10,000 signatures on a petition to stay the deportation of a man who arrived 30 years ago from Bangladesh to study and work in the United States.

Jamal, 55, is thought be detained in a Missouri jail 160 miles from his wife Angela Zaynaub Chowdhury, also from Bangladesh, and their three U.S. citizen children.

The oldest, Taseen, wrote on Facebook: “My little brother cries every night, my sister can’t focus in school, and I cannot sleep at night...

 

“If my father is deported, my siblings and I may never get to see him again. He is an older man, and due to the conditions of his home country, he might not be able to survive.”

One of the organizers of the Change.org petition, Susan Baker Anderson of Lawrence, called the effort a “humanitarian campaign,” pleading that Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, exercise discretion to keep a successful contributor to society from being separated from his family and career.

“There are cases where it’s been granted,” said Anderson, whose son attends gifted programs at the school of one of Jamal’s children. “We’re not just hitting at the wind.”

May be not illegal but GC unna vallu meedha edaina felony charges unte ICE has right to deport such permanent residents. Ee donga na kodukulu asalu reason chepparu. Deport chesaru ani edhava sodhi cheptaru but they won't tell you why
