On June 2, Jose Noel Portillo Ulloa was taken by ICE at 10 am while he was simply driving to help a friend. He has no criminal record and has always worked hard as a student to support his single mother and his two younger siblings. He graduated top of his class at College Achieve Public School and is now studying at KEAN UNIVERSITY and just completed his first freshman year at college. Now, he is being held at the detention center in Elizabeth, and his family is devastated by his sudden absence.

We are urgently seeking help to cover the legal fees needed to fight his case and bring him back home. The cost of hiring a lawyer is overwhelming, and his family depends on him not just emotionally, but also financially. Every day he is away is a struggle for his mother and siblings, who are trying to hold things together while hoping for his safe return.

He just wants to get back to his family and avoid being sent to a place he doesn't know. Your support, no matter the amount, will make a real difference in his life and the lives of those who love him. We are deeply grateful to anyone willing to help, and he would love to say thank you to all who support us during this difficult time.

The beneficiary of this fundraiser is Jose's mother, Glenda.

El 2 de junio, Jose Noel Portillo Ulloa fue detenido por ICE a las 10 am mientras simplemente conducía para ayudar a un amigo. No tiene antecedentes penales y siempre ha trabajado duro como estudiante para apoyar a su madre soltera y a sus dos hermanos menores. Ahora está detenido en el centro de detención en Elizabeth, y su familia está devastada por su repentina ausencia.

Estamos buscando urgentemente ayuda para cubrir los honorarios legales necesarios para luchar su caso y traerlo de regreso a casa. El costo de contratar a un abogado es abrumador, y su familia depende de él no solo emocionalmente, sino también económicamente. Cada día que está lejos es una lucha para su madre y sus hermanos, quienes intentan mantenerse unidos mientras esperan su regreso seguro.

Él solo quiere regresar con su familia y evitar ser enviado a un lugar que no conoce. Su apoyo, sin importar la cantidad, hará una gran diferencia en su vida y en la vida de quienes lo aman. Estamos profundamente agradecidos con todos los que estén dispuestos a ayudar, y a él le encantaría dar las gracias a todos los que nos apoyan en este momento tan difícil.

La beneficiaria de esta recaudación de fondos es la madre de José, Glenda.
