<div>Please join the Dorchester LUCE Immigrant Justice Network in supporting immigrant families directly impacted by ICE detention and fear of being detained.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>When a family member is detained by ICE, the financial consequences can be immediate and catastrophic. The detained person is often a primary breadwinner, so their sudden removal from the workforce immediately cuts off household income. Families are then simultaneously hit with the enormous cost of immigration legal representation, which can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, often forcing them to drain savings, take out loans, or rely on community fundraising. If bond is set, families must pay it in full upfront. Bonds commonly range from $1,500 to $25,000 or more, meaning many turn to borrowing money if BIJAN can't cover it. Ongoing detention can stretch for months, prolonging every one of these costs while the remaining family members (including US citizen children) struggle to cover rent, utilities, food, and childcare on a fractured income. The ripple effects can lead to eviction, loss of a vehicle, inability to pay medical bills, and long-term debt that follows the family even if their loved one is eventually released or wins their case.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These families need immediate support for legal representation, monthly bills, and other essential needs. <strong>All donations will go directly to these families.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar makes a difference. Please donate what you can and share this widely. Your solidarity is critical right now. Thank you.
