TAMPA, Fla. — There are five years worth of memories on Jenniffer Infante's wall – happy memories of family trips to Disney World and new additions to the family.

“Where one of us goes, we’ll all go. We’ll always be together,” she said. 

Now that's all in jeopardy. The family could be deported to Venezuela on Friday. 

“Going back to Venezuela is like an immediate death sentence,” said husband Williams Paredes. 

Paredes was a police officer working for the opposition in Venezuela. 

He says the death threats began in 2013, after he seized 200 kilos of cocaine being smuggled. 

“One day, they told me that they knew where my wife worked and where my son went to school. They had already tried to kill me once at home, with a firearm. After that, we fled Venezuela,” Paredes said. 

Their youngest daughter was born in the U.S. three years ago. 

She can’t get a visa to fly to Venezuela since all U.S. embassies are closed, but Infante says she will not allow her family to be separated. 

“We don’t want our family to be separated. I’m a mom," she said. "I don’t want to leave my kids anywhere else. Especially my daughter, cause she’s still so young. I don’t even think to leave her,” she said. 

The family says this is why granting TPS to Venezuelans during the crisis is so important – families’ lives are on the line. 

“Really, Mr. President, we ask you with all our hearts to help us. You’re the one that has the power,” Paredes said. 

As they prepare to make their case to officials on Friday, they're choosing to think only of the positive.

“I have full faith in God that Friday, everything will be OK. It’ll be OK,” Infante said. 

The family and their attorneys will meet at the Tampa ICE office at 10 a.m. on Friday. 

The hope is to get a stay of removal for the family.  That way, they can stay here until it's safe for them to return to Venezuela.
