Our family is asking for support after Bouakham was unexpectedly detained by ICE. Just one day before, he had successfully completed his check-in with no issues. He has not been charged with any crime, and after having our attorney run a full search, we confirmed that no charges exist.

This sudden detention has placed a heavy emotional and financial burden on us. While we work through the legal process, we are trying to make sure Bouakham has what he needs to get through each week and that we can continue paying the professionals fighting for his release.

How your help makes a direct impact:

$60 covers one week of phone time so he can stay in touch with family

$70 covers one week of commissary credits so he can buy basic food like canned tuna, hygiene items, and other essentials

Our attorney is pursuing a Habeas Corpus petition to challenge the detention, especially since he was taken without due process. We’ve been told others in similar situations have successfully been released through this process.

As of November 18, legal and consulting costs have reached $9,800—and the expenses continue to grow. Any amount truly helps and means more than we can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read, share, or contribute. Your support gives Bouakham strength and brings us one step closer to getting him home.
