Urgent: write to your MP to stop the deportation of the Sanchez sisters

Posted: 16 April 2025

 

Sisters Ivania (24) and Karla (26) Rodriguez Sanchez fled El Salvador six years ago with their parents. After extortion, death threats and rape threats from gangs, and then the kidnapping of Ivania, they escaped and made a new home here in Nottingham.

Despite their legitimate asylum case, the Home Office has detained them and ordered fast-track deportations due to a minor paperwork error in their claim. They were unable to detect the error because the authorities failed to upload their documents for 17 crucial days.

Nadia Whittome, the local MP, is on the case. Local Labour Campaign for Free Movement supporters are also supporting them. Emergency legal appeals are underway. But Karla’s deportation flight is already scheduled for this Friday night.

So we need to ramp up pressure on the government now. Use this tool to write to your MP quickly and demand the deportations are halted. Return Karla and Ivania to their family!
