WASHINGTON Colorados three Democrats in the U.S. House today asked the administration to spare from deportation a Mexican-born man who has sought sanctuary at the First Unitarian Society of Denver.

Arturo Hernandez Garcia has been living in the U.S. illegally for years, but his family situation, coupled with President Barack Obamas recent executive order on immigration, prompted the lawmakers to seek a stay of removal on his behalf.

The presidents announcement included a number of changes, including the creation of a Deferred Action for Parents (DAP) program to allow parents of U.S. citizens to apply for deferred action, wrote Democratic U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette, Ed Perlmutter and Jared Polis of Colorado.

Given Hernandez Garcia is the parent of a U.S. citizen and it will take some time to promulgate final regulations on who will be eligible for the program and application requirements, we believe a stay of removal is warranted in this case.

The letter was addressed to John Longshore, the field office director for enforcement and removal operations at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Centennial, Colo.

A message left on his voicemail was not immediately returned.
