San Francisco couple Brian Willingham and Alfonso Garcia have been together over a decade, after meeting in the Castro on Halloween (remember when they had that?). Recently, Alfonso was detained and thrown in the county lockup after a routine traffic stop in which he was found to have an immigration hold on his file. Alfonso never got his green card despite his family having immigrated here in the 90s, and now that he is legally married to Brian, the couple is making this passionate plea to President Obama (via stopthedportations.com) to give them a reprieve.

As the Houston Chronicle reported, Costa Rican immigrant David Gonzales, who met his husband Mario Ramirez, a U.S. citizen, in 2005 and married him in California in 2008, was given a reprieve by a Texas judge earlier this month and kept from deportation.
