(WSBT) Another setback for a local man, accused of having ties to terrorism. Ibrahim Parlak has been fighting the government to stay in the United States, but this week, he learned his brother may soon be deported.

Parlak believes deporting his brother Huseyin is another attempt by the government to get him out of the country. He says if that happens, it will put both of the brothers in danger.

On Tuesday, Parlak received notice from the Board of Immigration Appeals that Huseyin's request to stay in the United State's under political asylum was denied.

“Now they are saying he worked illegally. Where did he work illegally? At his own restaurant, in his family restaurant?” exclaimed Parlak.

A statement from the judge also questioned the reasons why Huseyin said he was allegedly harmed in Turkey, and why he feared future harm if he went back.

“He has not done anything wrong, not in Turkey, not in Europe, not anywhere in the world, so why go after him?” questioned Parlak.

He believes the one reason is himself. The government wants Parlak deported because of past ties to what's now considered a Turkish terror group.

For years the Kurdish immigrant as fought to stay in the country and along the way gathered a lot of support. This latest set back, however, has left him with fear.

“We don't know what they are going to do. I mean any time - when I turn the corner - is someone going to stop me and take me? Why should a person live, who didn't do anything wrong in the United States, should live with that fear?" said Parlak.

He said they are working with their attorneys to file a motion for his brother to be able to stay in the United States.

Parlak could get some help on Capitol Hill for his own case. Michigan Representative Fred Upton and Senator Carl Levin introduced a bill that would make Parlak a permanent resident.

A spokesperson for Representative Fred Upton’s office says the bill is strictly for Parlak and would not include his brother, despite the latest decision to deport him.
