McBride Calls on Immigration Officials to Release Sussex County Resident Victor Acurio Su\u00e1rez", "2026-01-26", "2026", "2026-01", "Democrat", "House", "DE", "Sarah McBride", "M001238", "mcbride.house.gov", "mcbride", "https://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases", "scraper", "Wilmington, DE \u2014 Delaware\u2019s Congresswoman Sarah McBride released the following statement after an immigration judge handed down an order last week to deport Victor Acurio Su\u00e1rez, a disabled Sussex County resident.\n\n\u201cThe detainment and now the order to deport Victor Acurio Su\u00e1rez is morally bankrupt. It shows a complete lack of care, compassion, and basic humanity toward a vulnerable neighbor who has done everything the law asked of him and poses no threat to anyone.\n\n\u201cVictor lives with significant developmental disabilities and depends on his family for daily care. He fled Ecuador after being brutally beaten at the hands of the Los Lobos gang, where they \u2018left him for dead\u2019 after setting his house on fire.\n\n\u201cHe has no criminal history and followed the law by applying for asylum upon arriving in our country. He is the exact kind of individual that our asylum system is meant to protect. Forcing him back to a country where he was brutally attacked and left for dead is wrong. It\u2019s also a stark warning about what happens when our systems abandon empathy altogether.\n\n\u201cThe Trump Administration has stripped our immigration system of dignity and due process\u2014foundations on which a just system relies. These are not privileges, they are obligations, and they exist to protect us all from the treatment Mr. Acurio Su\u00e1rez is facing now.\n\n\u201cI am calling on immigration authorities to immediately release Mr. Acurio Su\u00e1rez and grant him asylum.\u201d\n\nMr. Victor Acurio Su\u00e1rez intends to pursue an appeal to this decision. The Office of Representative McBride has been working with Mr. Victor Acurio Su\u00e1rez\u2019s lawyer since his detainment in October of 2025.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T15:05:35Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mcbride-calls-immigration-officials-release-sussex-county-resident-victor"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 8.742092177271843, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
