<div><strong>HELP BRING MIGUEL HOME</strong>
</div>
<div>On May 29, 2026, Miguel Angel Tercero Raudes showed up for a routine ICE check-in, just as he had done for years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He never came home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHAT HAPPENED:</strong>
</div>
<div>Miguel has been living and working legally in the United States for more than a decade. He is married to a U.S. citizen. He is the father of twin 9-year-old daughters who are also U.S. citizens. He owns a construction company with his wife, Julia. And for ten years, he has complied with every court appearance, every ICE check-in, and every government request made of him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After spending seven years presenting his case in immigration court, Miguel was granted a Withholding of Removal order in 2023, allowing him to continue living and working legally in the United States while being protected from deportation by court order.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then, on May 29, everything changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When Miguel arrived for what should have been a routine check-in, he was taken into custody. His attorney immediately began fighting his detention in federal court. Days later, Miguel was informed that the government intended to remove him to a third country—a place where he has never lived, has no family, no legal status, and no meaningful connection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, Miguel remains separated from his wife and daughters at the Adelanto ICE detention facility while his family fights for his right to remain with his children in the country he has legally called home for more than a decade.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHO MIGUEL IS:</strong>
</div>
<div>If you know Miguel and Julia, you know this story is about far more than a legal debate.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They are the kind of people who show up for everyone. They open their home to friends and neighbors. They volunteer at their daughters’ school. They organize events, support fundraisers, help families in need, and create community wherever they go. Their twin girls are the center of their world, and anyone who has spent time with this family knows how deeply loved they are.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Miguel and Julia have spent years building a life together. They have built a family. They have built a business. They have built a community. And now, without warning and through no fault of their own, they are fighting to keep that life from being torn apart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What is happening to Miguel has left his family, friends, and community shocked and heartbroken.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But this story is also bigger than one family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY THIS MATTERS:</strong>
</div>
<div>Across the country, individuals from Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela who have been living and working legally in the United States under various forms of legal protection are now finding themselves at the center of a rapidly evolving legal battle over their future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many have built families, businesses, and entire lives here. Many have spent years complying with every requirement placed upon them. Yet they now face uncertainty about whether the protections they relied upon will continue to be honored.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In a June 5, 2026 ruling, Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. observed that many of the individuals affected by these policies are being treated differently based not on anything they have done, but on what he described as “the happenstance of their birth.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Miguel is one of those people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>His case raises a question that should concern all of us:</strong>
</div>
<div>What happens when someone follows every rule, complies with every requirement, spends years proving his case in court, builds a family, builds a business, and still finds himself forcibly taken from his wife and children after voluntarily showing up for a routine government appointment?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, Miguel’s family is fighting an urgent legal battle to bring him home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>HOW TO HELP:</strong>
</div>
<div>Donations will help cover legal fees, court costs, emergency filings, expert consultations, travel expenses, and the growing financial burden of defending Miguel’s rights and keeping his family together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution will help give Miguel the chance to continue fighting his case, return home to his wife and daughters, and ensure that the legal protections he spent years securing receive the full consideration they deserve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing Miguel’s story.
</div>
<div>Sometimes injustice thrives in the dark. The more people who see what is happening, the harder it becomes to ignore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, every share, and every voice helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with Miguel, Julia, and their daughters.
</div>
