Haitian Community Activist Jean Montrevil Faces Deportation
On Wednesday morning, Jean Montrevil was attending a regular immigration check-in when he was detained by agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, or ICE. He now faces deportation to Haiti for a twenty-year-old drug conviction, for which he has already served eleven years in prison. He has not broken any laws since then. Montrevil is married to an American citizen and is the father of four US citizen children. Montrevil is a longtime community leader in New York City and active in a number of immigrant rights groups, including Families for Freedom, the NYC New Sanctuary Movement, and Detention Watch Network.

"The Faces of Detention and Deportation: Jean Murat Montrevil"
JUAN GONZALEZ: We end today with a story of a Haitian immigrant to this country who could be deported this week. Jean Montrevil came to the United States legally in 1986. He’s married to an American citizen and is the father of four US citizen children. Montrevil is a longtime community leader in New York City and active in a number of immigrant rights groups, including Families for Freedom, the New York City New Sanctuary Movement, and Detention Watch Network.
On Wednesday morning, he was attending a regular immigration check-in when he was detained by agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, or ICE. He now faces deportation to Haiti for a twenty-year-old drug conviction, for which he has already served eleven years in prison. He has not broken any law since then.
We contacted ICE for comment, but they did not respond to our query for the reasons for Montrevil’s detention.
AMY GOODMAN: For more on the case, we’re joined now by two guests. Here in our New York studio, Joshua Bardavid is with us. He’s Jean Montrevil’s attorney. And we’re joined on the phone by Jani Montrevil, Jean Montrevil’s wife. She’s at home with their children.
Let’s start with you. Explain his case. Why now? And what were the charges against him years ago?
