Godfrey Wade

Godfrey Wade is a 65-year-old US Army veteran who has been detained in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Georgia, where his family is fighting to prevent his deportation to Jamaica. Originally migrating to the United States from Jamaica in 1975, Wade has spent decades building a life in the U.S., raising six children and becoming a prominent figure in Georgia's tennis community. He served in the U.S. Army for eight years, earning several commendations for his service, including a wartime veteran medal. Despite his contributions to society and his military background, Wade faces deportation after a routine traffic stop led to his arrest, sparking a legal battle initiated by his family to secure his release and maintain his presence in the country.
