Hi everyone, my name is Emely, and I’m sharing this GoFundMe for my dear friend Gabriela Pérez and her family. On Wednesday, September 30, around 7:20 a.m., Gabriela was leaving for work when her parents, Juan Carlos and Gloria, were stopped and detained by ICE while on their way to work in the New Orleans area. The highway was stopped during the operation, and several agents surrounded their vehicle like they were criminals. They were completely cooperative and did not resist. They tried to explain their situation and show the documents they had with them, but the agents refused to look at them and told them they “didn’t care.” They were taken from their vehicle and handcuffed. Juan Carlos and Gloria are hardworking parents who have spent years building a life and supporting their family. They have no criminal record and have worked hard to follow the rules and build their lives responsibly. Their parents were doing everything through the legal process and had followed the rules every step of the way. Now, Gabriela and her brother are trying to keep their household going while their parents are unable to work. We are raising these funds for their immigration bonds, which could be around $10,000 each ($20,000 total), as well as essential household expenses. If you can donate or simply share this fundraiser, you are helping bring Juan Carlos and Gloria one step closer to coming home. Please keep their family in your prayers. ______________________________________ Hola a todos, mi nombre es Emely y estoy compartiendo este GoFundMe por mi querida amiga Gabriela Pérez y su familia. El miércoles 30 de septiembre, alrededor de las 7:20 a.m., Gabriela iba saliendo para su trabajo cuando sus padres, Juan Carlos y Gloria, fueron detenidos por ICE mientras se dirigían al trabajo en el área de Nueva Orleans. El highway fue detenido durante el operativo y varios agentes rodearon su vehículo como si fueran criminales. cooperaron en todo momento y no se resistieron. Intentaron explicar su situación y mostrar los documentos que llevaban con ellos, pero los agentes se negaron a revisarlos y les dijeron que “no les importaba.” Fueron sacados del vehículo y esposados. Juan Carlos y Gloria son padres trabajadores que han pasado años construyendo una vida y apoyando a su familia. No tienen antecedentes criminales y siempre han trabajado duro para hacer las cosas correctamente y construir una vida estable para su familia. Sus padres estaban haciendo todo por la vía legal y habían seguido las reglas en todo momento. Ahora, Gabriela y su hermano están tratando de mantener el hogar mientras sus padres no pueden trabajar. Estamos recaudando estos fondos para sus fianzas migratorias, que podrían ser de aproximadamente $10,000 por cada uno ($20,000 en total), además de los gastos esenciales del hogar. Si puedes donar o simplemente compartir esta campaña, estarás ayudando a que Juan Carlos y Gloria estén un paso más cerca de regresar a casa. Por favor, mantengan a toda la familia en sus oraciones.
