Help Dennis stay in the U.S. with his family

Donation protected
On Monday, April 28th Dennis and his girlfriend, Marlene, were going to go to Menards and stopped at the gas station in southwest Detroit to get water. All the sudden, eight undercover cars surrounded us and arrested Dennis, claiming they had a warrant for his arrest, but didn't show us any documents or badges.
He was taken to Battle Creek detention center where he is waiting a hearing with a judge. We think he was being surveilled and they knew where he lives, we also think someone called ICE on him.
Dennis has been in the US since he was six months old. He doesn't know any other home. He has two U.S citizen daughters, a U.S. citizen partner, and his whole family in the U.S. are citizens or permanent residents. His whole family, especially his daughters miss him. We are fundraising money to pay for legal fees that will be at least $15,000. Any donation will help.
While in detention, Dennis has been helping other guys who have no one else to call, he's connecting guys on the inside to his own parents to hopefully find relatives of all the other men detained in Battle Creek. This shows Dennis' generous spirit and his willingness to help other people around him. If we meet our goal of $15,000, we will use the remaining funds to help other immigrants who are detained and have no one to help them.
Dennis' court date is on May 12th.

El lunes 28 de abril, Dennis y su novia, Marlene, iban a ir a Menards y pararon en la gasolinera del suroeste de Detroit para comprar agua. De repente, ocho vehículos encubiertos nos rodearon y arrestaron a Dennis, alegando tener una orden de arresto, pero sin mostrarnos documentos ni placas.
Lo llevaron al centro de detención de Battle Creek, donde espera una audiencia con un juez. Creemos que lo vigilaban y que sabían dónde vivía; también creemos que alguien lo denunció por ICE.
Dennis ha estado en Estados Unidos desde que tenía seis meses. No conoce otro hogar. Tiene dos hijas ciudadanas estadounidenses, una pareja que también lo es, y toda su familia en Estados Unidos es ciudadana o residente permanente. Toda su familia, especialmente sus hijas, lo extrañan. Estamos recaudando fondos para cubrir los honorarios legales, que ascenderán a al menos $15,000. Cualquier donación será de gran ayuda.
Durante su detención, Dennis ha ayudado a otros hombres que no tienen a quién llamar. Está conectando a hombres que están en prisión con sus padres para, con suerte, encontrar a los familiares de todos los demás hombres detenidos en Battle Creek. Esto demuestra la generosidad de Dennis y su disposición a ayudar a quienes lo rodean. Si alcanzamos nuestra meta de $15,000, usaremos los fondos restantes para ayudar a otros inmigrantes detenidos que no tienen a nadie que los ayude.
La fecha de comparecencia de Dennis ante el tribunal es el 12 de mayo.
