"Ismael is a 19-year-old refugee from Honduras. He has been imprisoned at an immigration jail for a year after attempting to seek asylum at the US border. If we dont get him out by July 1st, he could be deported to his death!.
Ismael was seperated from his only family left- his aunt and his cousin - when he was given an unjust $50,000 bond by the immigration judge.
Ismael and his family, who also fled Honduras, are hoping to raise $12,000 to get him out through a bond company, but will continue to raise $50,000.
Help get Ismael out and reunite him with his family!
Background:
Ismael was a witness to a horrific murder at only 17 in Honduras and then was targeted both by gangs and the police.
After another family member was killed, Ismael fled to the United States when he was 17 years old.
On his journey through Mexico, Ismael encountered gang members and human traffickers. In Tapachula, Mexico he was detained in juvenile immigration detention for months and tortured. From Tapachula he continued on to Tijuana where he turned himself in at the port of entry in compliance with the law. Ismael, an already traumatized child, was immediately incarcerated at the Otay Immigration Detention Center, where he has been incarcerated for almost a year. He turned 19 years old inside Otay Detention Center, and also passed his credible fear interview. As a severely traumatized teenager who became an orphan at the age of 7, Ismael is a survivor.
However, a US Immigration judge unjustly gave Ismael a $50,000 bond despite having passed his credible fear interview and having a strong asylum claim. The Trump administration has victimized Ismael further by holding him captive at the Otay Detention Center and is denying him the right to access justice for simply being unable to pay a $50,000 bond. Deportation is a death sentence for Ismael, and his adoptive family continues to receive death threats on his life.
Ismaels only family is here in the US. He has no one left in Honduras.
Ismael and his adoptive family, who also fled Honduras, are hoping to raise $12,000 to get him out through a bond company, but will continue to raise $50,000. Despite the bond companies’ gross for-profit practices, Ismael and his family’s have no other choice. Their goal is to save his life because if he returns to Honduras he faces further persecution and likely death. "
*We have included a photo of Ismael as a child to protect his identity. Names and details have been changed to protect Ismael and his family.
