Help a Central Falls Father Pay Asylum Hearing Costs

The Alliance to Mobilize Our Resistance (AMOR) is fundraising for a Central Falls father to pay for his Asylum Hearing. Our goal of $2,000 will help pay case expenses for a father who has been detained for almost 6 months after the Central Falls police sent his fingerprints directly to ICE.

In December 2024, M.A. was arrested by the Central Falls police after an argument with his partner after a Christmas party. The Central Falls police immediately sent M.A.'s fingerprints to ICE. This underreported collaboration between local police and ICE in Rhode Island is currently landing family members like M.A. and many others into months of detention at the Wyatt and elsewhere.

For his hearing on asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) hearing in May, M.A. needs funds to pay an expert witness on the country conditions in Colombia, a psychologist to do an evaluation of him for PTSD, and translations of official documents from Colombia detailing his mother's murder.

M.A. has not worked in six months because he is detained by ICE. His partner has the financial responsibility for his young daughter's care.

Our goal of $2,000 will pay these extra case expenses, including M.A.'s expert witness, the psychologist evaluation, and translations of official documents from Colombia. Funds will go directly to M.A.’s attorney.

This support will additionally relieve what would otherwise be an yet another financial burden on M.A.’s family.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please share widely with your networks.
