Bring Alex Umanzor Home to His Family

Donation protected
On February 16th, 2026, our lives changed in an instant.
Alex Alberto Umanzor — a devoted husband and loving father of four — was followed by ICE agents from a Walmart in Suffolk County, New York. That same day, he was detained and taken to a detention center, leaving his family shocked, terrified, and completely unprepared.
In a single moment, four children lost the comfort of their father coming home. A wife lost her partner. A family lost their sole provider.
Alex came to the United States over 20 years ago to escape corruption, gang violence, and danger in Honduras. He came here with one goal: to build a safe life for his family. He has worked tirelessly ever since. He has no felonies, no criminal convictions. He pays his taxes. He has dedicated his life to providing for his children and keeping them safe.
Now, his family is fighting to bring him back.
His oldest son, Allen is trying to find lawyers and navigate a system they never expected to face. And with a child who was deployed miles away and is serving for the country. The emotional toll is unbearable. The financial burden is overwhelming.
Legal fees, filing costs, and urgent representation are needed immediately. We have only one week to raise the funds necessary to secure proper legal help and fight for Alex’s release.
This is not just about paperwork.
This is about a father coming home.
This is about children who cry at night not knowing when they will see their dad again.
This is about a family trying to stay strong while their world feels like it’s falling apart.
If you have ever known Alex, you know his heart. If you have ever been helped by him, worked beside him, or seen how hard he fights for his family — please stand with them now.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings this family one step closer to being reunited.
Please help us bring a father, husband, son, and friend back home where he belongs

EN ESPAÑOL

El 16 de febrero de 2026, nuestra vida cambió en cuestión de minutos.
Alex Alberto Umanzor — esposo dedicado y padre amoroso de cuatro hijos — fue seguido por agentes de ICE desde un Walmart en Suffolk County, Nueva York. Ese mismo día fue detenido y trasladado inmediatamente a un centro de detención, dejando a su familia en shock, con miedo y sin saber qué hacer.
En un instante, cuatro hijos se quedaron sin el abrazo de su padre al final del día.
Una esposa perdió a su compañero.
Una familia perdió a su único proveedor.
Hace más de 20 años, Alex llegó a los Estados Unidos huyendo de la corrupción, la violencia y las pandillas en Honduras. Vino con un solo propósito: darle a su familia una vida segura y llena de oportunidades. Desde entonces, ha trabajado incansablemente. No tiene antecedentes penales ni condenas. Paga sus impuestos. Ha dedicado su vida a mantener y proteger a sus hijos.
Hoy, su familia está luchando desesperadamente para traerlo de regreso.
Su hijo mayor, Allen, tratando de encontrar abogados y enfrentar un sistema que jamás imaginaron tener que enfrentar.
El dolor emocional es inmenso.
La carga financiera es abrumadora.
Los honorarios legales y los costos urgentes de representación deben cubrirse de inmediato. Solo tenemos una semanapara reunir los fondos necesarios que permitan luchar por la libertad de Alex y mantener a esta familia unida.
Esto no se trata solo de trámites legales.
Se trata de un padre que necesita volver a casa.
Se trata de hijos que lloran por las noches sin saber cuándo volverán a ver a su papá.
Se trata de una familia tratando de mantenerse fuerte mientras su mundo se derrumba.
Si conoces a Alex, conoces su corazón. Si alguna vez te ayudó, trabajó contigo o viste el amor que siente por su familia, hoy te pedimos que te unas a esta causa.
Cualquier donación, grande o pequeña, nos acerca un paso más a reunir a esta familia.
Por favor ayúdanos a traer a un padre, esposo, hijo y amigo de regreso a casa, donde pertenece.
El tiempo es limitado.
