ANN ARBOR, MI - Reports that Yousef Ajin, an Ann Arbor father of four, is facing deportation are drawing reactions from many community members.

That includes everyone from Mayor Christopher Taylor to Ann Arbor Public Schools Superintendent Jeanice Swift.

"Mr. Ajin's detention and threatened deportation devastates an Ann Arbor family, an American family. Our country should be better than this," Taylor wrote in a Facebook post on Friday, Feb. 24.

"We stand with you, Ajin Family!" Swift tweeted on Saturday.

Both shared information about how to write letters of support ahead of Ajin's scheduled court hearing Tuesday, Feb. 28, in Detroit.

Community High School's student-run newspaper, The Communicator, first reported the story on Friday, indicating Ajin, a Muslim, Kuwait-born, Jordanian immigrant, drove to Detroit for his bi-weekly proof of residency on Jan. 30, but instead of the usual routine check-in after which he could go home to his wife and four children who are U.S. citizens, he was detained.

The story indicates he is still detained, awaiting a hearing at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the McNamara Federal Building in Detroit.

Community members who don't want to see the father separated from his wife and children are planning to rally outside the federal building in Detroit on Tuesday to show support for the family.

Friday's story by Joel Appel-Kraut, The Communicator's web editor, is accompanied by a short documentary video by local filmmaker Donald Harrison, exploring how the family has been coping with the situation.

Ajin's wife has gone back to work for the first time in many years to provide for the family, and their three daughters are helping to take care of their 15-year-old brother, who suffers from developmental disabilities, the story indicates.

The video indicates Ajin has lived in the United States for 18 years, has four children attending local schools, and has been working toward citizenship.

"Yousef is the sole income provider in his home and his absence is causing great stress for the family," Harrison wrote in the video's description.

"His wife, who has been out of the workforce for 16 years to tend to her son, has found a job and is working twelve-hour shifts on the weekends while her daughters care for their brother. All four children are struggling to keep up with academics due to the stress of their father's detainment."

Ajin's attorney and family could not be reached for comment on Saturday, nor could representatives for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
