Members in Mount Kisco rally to support a man fighting for asylum in this country.         

Armando Rojhas worked as a custodian at the Bet Torah Synagogue for years. He was detained back in March after getting involved in a bar fight.

No charges were filed, but ICE deported him two weeks later.

Armando is known by community members as a staple in Mount Kisco.

"Armando has been in the country for 30 years, working for us for 20, and raised a family. He had no criminal record,” said Bet Torah Synagogue Rabbi Aaron Brusso.

"I need him back for my mom. They've been together 27 years. My mom is not the same person without him. We need him,” said Armando Rojas Jr., the father seeking asylum.

Residents are encouraged to write to their representatives in Washington to support Rojhas's asylum case.

He is appealing an earlier ruling, with the help of the Rabbi and congregation.
