Jennifer Vasquez Sura gave a statement about her husband through CASA, an advocacy group for immigrants and other underprivileged communities: My children and my prayers have been answered. The efforts of my family and community in fighting for justice are being heard, because I now know that my husband is alive. God is listening, and the community is standing strong. We still have so many questions, hopes, and fears. I will continue praying and fighting for Kilmars' return home. Thank you to everyone, including Senator Van Hollen, my CASA family, all our Union's, faith leaders and community for continuing this fight for my family to be reunited.
