My name is Erica and I’m writing this with a heart full of pain and hope. My 61 year old dad is a kind humble man who has spent years working long hours at a local car wash to support our family. He’s also a loving grandfather who lights up every room with his quiet strength and warm heart. Last week, during what should have been just another shift, he was taken by ICE without warning. Now he’s in detention, separated from the family he’s spent decades caring for. He has diabetes and isn’t receiving the medical care he needs, something no human being, especially a senior, should have to endure. We are devastated. These photos show both the moment he was taken and the beautiful, gentle man he truly is. He is not a threat. He is my dad. We’re fighting to bring him home safely, but we can’t do it alone. Your support, no matter how big or small, means the world to us. It means hope. It means family. It means the chance to hold him again.
