Help Support Refugee & Immigrant Families Affected by ICE Enforcement in Minnesota

Over the past weeks, federal immigration enforcement operations have surged in Minnesota, creating fear, uncertainty, and hardship for many families in our community • especially refugee and immigrant households with limited resources and safety nets.

Our Goal:
To raise funds to directly cover rent expenses for refugee and immigrant families whose housing stability has been threatened as a result of intensified ICE activities in the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota.

These families are our neighbors • people who came here seeking safety, stability, and a chance to build a future. Recent enforcement actions have upended their lives, disrupted their housing situations, and made it harder to make rent on time. We believe in practical, community-centered support to keep these families housed and safe.

How Your Donation Helps:
✔️ 100% of funds collected will go directly toward rent payments for affected households.
✔️ Payments will be sent directly to the landlords or property management companies on behalf of the families • to ensure that housing stability is maintained.
✔️ All funds will be transparently tracked, and we will share receipts of rent paid and documentation so supporters can see exactly how their contributions were used.

Why This Matters:
Immigration enforcement actions have expanded rapidly in the region, with thousands of arrests and community disruptions reported and criticized by local leaders and residents alike. Many of the people impacted are long-term Minnesota residents, including refugees and immigrants who contribute to our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and shared community life. Your support goes beyond financial aid • it sends a message that we stand together in care, not fear.
