LEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014U.S. Representative John Yarmuth\u2019s office has confirmed that the office of Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff will review the case file of Transylvania honor student and Sudanese refugee Lino Nakwa. <\/p>\n

\nNakwa is facing deportation to Sudan on an immigration technicality. In 1992, 12-year-old Nakwa and his older brother were kidnapped by the Sudanese People\u2019s Liberation Army, a rebel terrorist group that murdered his father. For a month, Nakwa and his brother were held by the SPLA before making their escape. <\/p>\n

\nIn 2003, Lino and four younger siblings were granted refugee status and immigrated to Louisville. Nakwa worked full-time at UPS to support his younger siblings while attending classes at Jefferson Community College as a full-time student. He graduated with distinction and entered Transylvania last fall as a junior where he works two campus jobs and was named to the dean\u2019s list. <\/p>\n

\nThough his records show that he was kidnapped by the SPLA and held there against his will, the United States government is now denying Nakwa\u2019s request for a green card because it says he received \u201cmilitary-type training\u201d (as a 12-year-old) while being held by the rebel group. Nakwa\u2019s older brother lives in the United Kingdom and also faces possible deportation. Nakwa\u2019s younger siblings all have green cards, because they were never kidnapped by the SPLA. One of his younger brothers is on a soccer scholarship at Xavier University and a sister was a Governor\u2019s Scholar. <\/p>\n

\nLetters of support for Nakwa can still be sent to:<\/p>\n
