A letter was received by Eric Mark, Atanas’ attorney written by John Tsoukaris where the request for prosecutorial discretion was denied and specifically stated that “Deferred action is an exercise of prosecutorial discretion to give some cases lower priority for removal. It is granted only in those cases where a careful balancing of the merits of a particular case against the current goals and mission of the agency make deferred action an appropriate choice. It is not an entitlement and is not widely granted. The exercise of such discretion is not warranted in this case.”

Please include the fact that the letter by ICE Filed Director John Tsoukaris also included someone else’s name in the body – a completely careless error which shows just how little consideration & review he gave this case before his denial.
Denial was dated October 26, 2011 – before their receipt of 2 separate packages of letters & other documents of support. We are in touch with members of Congress & other government officials – ICE’s letter of denial w/ its egregious error is just another document of support in our case.
