Case No. 18-cv-00428-DMS-MDD DECLARATION OF NAN SCHIVONE CLASS ACTION Case 3:18-cv-00428-DMS-MDD Document 172-2 Filed 08/02/18 PageID.3067 Page 2 of 3 1 2 3 4 1. I, Nan Schivone, make the following declaration based on my personal knowledge and declare under the penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746 that the following is true and correct: 2. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the states of New York and Georgia 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 and am the Legal Director of Justice in Motion, a non-profit organization founded in 2005, which manages a Defender Network of human rights advocates and attorneys in Mexico and Central America. See http://justiceinmotion.org/. 3. In my role as the Legal Director of Justice in Motion I coordinate our “case facilitation” process, in which we match U.S. lawyers with members of our Defender Network to partner on specific cases which require legal support work in the client’s country of origin; through this work I have gained knowledge about information that is necessary to locate named individuals in Guatemala and Honduras. 4. I was asked to identify what information we need to locate these parents. 15 5. We require the following information about parents: Parent’s place of birth, 16 contact information, including address – whether descriptive or standard – with 17 municipality and department (regional marker like state), phone number for parent or 18 any family members, indigenous language spoken if other than Spanish, and country- 19 specific identification number, such as DPI (Guatemala, "Documento Personal de 20 Identificación") or the Identity Number (Honduras, "la Cédula de Identidad"). 21 6. 22 birth, contact information, including address – whether descriptive or standard –with 23 village, town, municipality and department (regional marker like state), phone number 24 for parent or any family members, indigenous language spoken if other than Spanish; 25 and (2) name and contact information for child's assigned lawyer and case worker to 26 determine if they are in touch with the parents or have contact information for the 27 family and/or other details which would provide leads to locate deported parent. 14 We require the following information about their children: (1) Child's place of 28 1 Case 3:18-cv-00428-DMS-MDD Document 172-2 Filed 08/02/18 PageID.3068 Page 3 of 3 1 2 3 4 7. I have reviewed some of the addresses provided by the government for deported parents, focusing on parents deported to Guatemala and Honduras. Many of the addresses appear too general to provide a good lead for investigators. For example, addresses that simply list “Guatemala City” in Guatemala, or “Olancho” in Honduras, 5 6 are of limited use in this search. Executed this 2nd day of August 2018, in Decatur, Georgia. 7 8 ____________________________ /s/Nan Schivone NAN SCHIVONE 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
