A Dominican lawful resident faces deportation after nonviolent offenses, separating him from his disabled son despite being a devoted caregiver.
Heury Gómez, a 43-year-old lawful permanent resident from the Dominican Republic and sole caregiver for his 18-year-old son with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, faces deportation after being detained at Newark Airport in August upon returning from vacation.
Despite having no history of violent crime and having been granted full custody of his medically dependent son in March, Gómez was arrested by ICE following two nonviolent misdemeanor convictions from 2015.
He has spent more time in detention than he did in prison for those offenses and has been separated from his son for nearly three months.
His family and attorney say he is a devoted caregiver who has worked nights as a custodian to care for his son and learned complex medical skills.
His case underscores concerns about immigration enforcement under President Trump’s second term targeting legal residents, particularly those caring for disabled children.
