Father fights to establish paternity as daughter's mother faces ICE deportation

Oscar Andres Moreno Castrillon, a Colombian father, is urgently seeking legal help to establish paternity of his biological daughter before her mother is deported by ICE. The child's mother, who is currently detained by ICE and faces potential deportation, never allowed Moreno Castrillon to be fully involved in the child's life or have his name placed on her birth certificate. Moreno Castrillon fears his daughter may be taken out of the country before he can legally establish his parental rights and ensure she remains in the United States with family.
