Dear Your Honor,
​My name is Katerina Karrys Barron and I am a citizen of the United States but most
importantly I am a mother of two beautiful children. I am writing on behalf of my husband Jesus
Barron-Quezada. My Husband has been detained since February 10th of this year and his children and I
miss him very much. Knowing my husband, I know that he takes full responsibility for his actions and
wants all of this to be behind him as soon as possible.
​I am writing this letter in hopes that you will approve to move up his sentencing hearing to as
soon as possible. We fully understand the severity of his charges and have decided to relocate to
Mexico. I have met with the Mexican Consulate and have consulted with a legal liaison to prepare for
our relocation.
​As a citizen of The United States, I believe in upholding the law of my country. Jesus was first
brought here when he was 5 years old which he cannot be held responsible for. He can be held
responsible for the laws he broke which led to the mess he is in now. Since we have been together,
Jesus has been working toward trying to get right with the law because the kids and I mean the world to
him. Before being detained by ICE, my husband walked into a Gilbert courtroom knowing detainment
was a possibility. He wanted to clear his record of his prior DUI to begin a path to citizenship. The DUI
case is finally closed and we now understand his immigration case is what is making keeping him here
impossible. Although I believe my husband is a good man and only illegal entered in the past to get
back to the only family he had at the time, I understand these laws are in place for a reason. With that
said, I assure you my husband with not attempt to travel to the United States unless he is able to do it
with proper documentation from this date forward.
​I can promise this because as I mention before family is very important to my husband. Our 4year-old son Adero and 1 year old daughter Sedona are the most important parts of our life together.
Not having their father these past few months has been very difficult for them. As a mother, I hate
seeing them in pain. I am responsible for their wellbeing and will do anything to protect it and so
would by husband. To do that we need to keep our family together and we have chosen to do that in
Mexico.
​I know these stories are a dime a dozen and I thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I
hope you will please consider moving my husband hearing up and allow the time he has served already
to be a sufficient punishment. My Children need their father and we would like to move on with our
lives in Mexico.
Sincerely,
Katerina Karrys Barron
