A nurse. A family. A community asking to be heard.
Keep Nurse Camila caring for Florida.
Camila cares for patients. Leandro, known as Leo, built a local business that supports jobs. Isabela is growing up in school with her friends. Their family now faces removal proceedings while immigration applications remain pending.
Our family is facing removal proceedings, with a Master Calendar Hearing scheduled for September 23, 2027. We have not received a final removal order, and we continue pursuing every lawful avenue available to keep our family together.

Who stands to lose
This case is about three lives already rooted in the community.
Immigration files are identified by numbers. The consequences are carried by people — patients, employees, classmates, friends, neighbors, and families.
A Florida nurse
Camila
Camila is a Florida-licensed Registered Nurse and BSN working in rehabilitation care. Her work is personal: every shift means patients, families, coworkers, and a community counting on skilled, compassionate care.
A local employer
Leandro
Leandro, known as Leo, founded a family-owned commercial cleaning company in Central Florida. Since 2019, the business has served local schools, churches, offices, dealerships, and other facilities while creating jobs and supporting other families.
A student growing up here
Isabela
Isabela attends school, has built friendships, and is part of the community around her. Removal would not be an abstract legal event to her; it would mean leaving her school, her friends, and the life she has grown into.
Family life is built in ordinary moments — school days, trips, celebrations, and time together.

The work behind the license
She built a study station, committed to the process, and passed the NCLEX on her first attempt.
Camila transformed a corner of her home into an intensive nursing review station. Clinical diagrams, medication tables, handwritten notes, and practice material covered the walls as she prepared to meet the standards required of a registered nurse in the United States.
The home study station Camila created while preparing for the NCLEX.
Passed on the first attemptNCLEX-RN
Preparation turned into service.
Passing the NCLEX was not simply a personal milestone. It allowed Camila to put her education, discipline, and clinical knowledge to work for patients in Florida. Today, the effort documented in these images has become real care delivered shift after shift.

Why her service matters
Qualified nurses are essential — and the need is documented.
Camila is not a projected number. She is already trained, licensed, and working with patients. National workforce data provides context for why retaining experienced nurses matters, while her employer and colleagues can document her individual contribution.

Projected national RN shortage in 2028
The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration projects a national shortage of registered nurses.
Florida did not simply gain another license number. It gained a nurse already showing up for patients.
Camila’s professional story joins formal qualification with daily service. Her license, employment records, evaluations, and letters from healthcare colleagues can document the contribution behind this public appeal.
What the documents show
An immigration case — not a criminal case.
The public story must be emotional and accurate. The Notices to Appear do not accuse this family of a crime. They charge that the family remained beyond the period authorized after lawful admission as visitors.
The family continued pursuing immigration relief after an earlier filing was denied. Their attorneys must determine the exact legal path, jurisdiction, and relief available. This campaign supports that lawful process; it does not replace it.
The family entered the United States lawfully through Miami on February 12, 2019.
Their Notices to Appear allege overstay under INA §237(a)(1)(B), not criminal conduct.
Their removal proceedings are pending. A Master Calendar Hearing is scheduled for September 23, 2027, and no final removal order has been entered.
The family reports that three adjustment-of-status applications remain pending after an earlier immigration filing was denied.
Since arriving lawfully in 2019, the family has invested $98,865—nearly $100,000—over almost eight years in attorneys, immigration filings, and government fees, consistently following the legal process as they seek permission to remain in the country they now call home.
Sources: the family’s three Notices to Appear, dated October 17, 2026, family-provided case information, and family financial records. The $98,865 figure should be supported by invoices, receipts, payment records, and a reconciled expense summary before being submitted as formal evidence. No A-numbers or receipt numbers are published.
The request
Fair review. Lawful discretion. A family kept together.
We respectfully ask the family’s elected representatives to open appropriate congressional casework inquiries with the relevant federal agencies. We ask USCIS, DHS, and ICE officials to ensure the pending matters receive fair and timely consideration and to evaluate every lawful form of discretion available.
We also ask that the family’s positive equities — Camila’s service as a nurse, Leandro’s local business and job creation, Isabela’s education and community ties, family unity, and the absence of criminal allegations in these proceedings — be presented through proper legal filings for consideration by the authorities who have jurisdiction.
What this campaign does not ask
It does not ask anyone to contact the Immigration Judge directly, interfere with the court, disregard immigration law, or guarantee a particular outcome.

Subject: Please help keep a Florida nurse and her family together
Dear Representative/Senator,
I am your constituent, and I am writing in support of Nurse Camila and her family. Their family is facing removal proceedings, with a Master Calendar Hearing scheduled for September 23, 2027. They have not received a final removal order and continue pursuing every lawful avenue available to remain together.
Camila is a Florida-licensed Registered Nurse caring for patients in our state. Her husband, Leandro, known as Leo, built a Central Florida business that supports jobs, and their daughter, Isabela, attends school and is rooted in her community.
Adjustment of status is a lawful form of relief from removal. Depending on jurisdiction, USCIS or the Immigration Judge may adjudicate an adjustment application and, when all legal requirements are satisfied, may grant lawful permanent residence as a favorable exercise of discretion. This family is asking for no exemption from the law—only that their complete record, humanitarian circumstances, family unity, service to Florida patients, job creation, and years of community ties be fully and fairly considered.
I understand that your office cannot contact or attempt to influence the Immigration Judge. I respectfully ask your office to open appropriate congressional casework with USCIS, DHS, and ICE; obtain clear status and jurisdiction information concerning the pending applications; encourage lawful and timely agency coordination; and request consideration of every form of relief and discretion authorized by law.
Removing this family before those lawful avenues are fully considered would take a working nurse away from Florida patients, separate a child from the life she knows, and disrupt a local business that supports jobs. Please help ensure that their case receives a complete, timely, and humane review.
Thank you for standing for due process, family unity, and fair consideration under the law.

Questions and boundaries
Responsible advocacy matters.
Can a petition decide the case?
No. A petition cannot approve immigration status or direct a judge. It can demonstrate public support and help elected offices understand why casework deserves attention.
Should supporters contact the judge?
No. Supporters must not contact the Immigration Judge or court about the merits. Evidence and arguments belong in proper filings made by counsel and served on the government.
What can Congress do?
Congressional offices may request information from federal agencies, seek status updates, and ask that lawful options be considered. They cannot guarantee approval or control a judicial decision.
Why collect ZIP codes?
ZIP codes help show whether support is local and help signers identify their own elected representatives. Street addresses are not collected by this site.
