Help Bring Antonio Home: Father of 3 Detained by ICE

Hello, my name is Daniela Botello, and I am a U.S. citizen and proud daughter of Antonio Botello-Aguillon. My sisters and I are heartbroken and devastated by what is happening to our dad. My dad has lived in this country for over 20 years, is the backbone of our family, has no criminal background, and is the hardest-working person I have ever known. He has always gone above and beyond, not only for my sisters and me but for our entire family and others in need.

On Tuesday, July 1st, around 9:00 AM, he was unexpectedly stopped and detained by ICE on his way to work in Conroe. He is now in custody, facing deportation. Our family is doing everything we can to secure legal help and bring him home. He doesn't deserve this at all, we miss him terribly and need him! Without him, it’s now up to my mom, my 2 younger sisters, and me to keep everything running.

I am raising money for my dad’s legal fees, his bond (if granted), our family’s expenses while he is detained, and other related costs. His court date is July 31st, and we would truly appreciate any donation, no matter how small. We understand times are tough now more than ever, so if you’re unable to contribute, please support us by sharing this or keeping my dad in your prayers.

Thank you.
