The concerned teachers and members of society meet together to help the fourth grade student in southern California after his arrest by immigration officials.
Martier Garcia Lara Talib at the Torrance Elementary School. On May 29, he attended a Houston immigration session, Texas, with his father.
However, instead of receiving an update on his father’s migration, the boy and his father were detained by the United States for Immigration and Customs (ICE) and separated them from each other.
“He alone is unable to return to the homeland,” said Yasmine King, PTA president.
Teachers at Torrance Elementary communicated to King and the rest of PTA, and asked them to help get the young boy in one way or another and returns to southern California.
“We haven’t received any information about the reason for their arrest,” King said. “All we know is that Martier is just a fourth -grade student who is the same, without his father, without one of the parents, and only in a place he does not know, so we can only imagine what he might feel.”
King said the boy was a student of Torrance Elementary since the first grade.
PTA members have since communicated with federal, state and local leaders to intervene and ask other parents and community members to help in any possible way.
King and members of the other PTA have said ready to help the boy and his father any legal assistance or financial assistance if needed.
