</div>
<div>KARIM IS HOME!!! It is truly a Christmas miracle!!
</div>
<div>Thank you to each and every person who has donated, shared, or even just sang Karim's praises. Each of you has helped make this possible!!
</div>
<div>The funds donated will continue to support his family and legal fees as they navigate the rest of this journey. 
</div>
<div>Thank you again. Your donations and support have impacted Karim and his family more than you will ever know.
</div>
<div>Merry, Merry Christmas. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello Friends. Many of you may recognize this guy. He may have helped you in the past. Well, today he needs our help. On Wednesday, March 12, friend, father, husband, and beloved community member, Karim Daoud was detained by ICE.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Rachel Mascitelli and Karim and his wife, Jenn have been good friends of mine for more than 20 years. All proceeds from this GoFundMe will go directly to Karim's wife, Jenn Metz to use toward legal fees and anything else she and the family may need during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Karim is not a criminal. He has no criminal history at all. Karim has always worked and paid taxes in the United States. Anyone who knows Karim knows his undying love for the United States, that he is a loving husband, an incredibly devoted father, and a well-loved and upstanding community member. One can even see tee-shirts and cars with bumper stickers around Flemington with his face on them, accompanied by a simple statement that sums Karim up well, “Be Kind”.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Karim was detained after an appointment to pick up documents to fulfill his work authorization requirement and to remain in the United States as he has since he has been in this country. When he arrived at the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program office, he was informed that there had been a mistake and he had to go to ICE. Once at the Newark ICE facility, Karim was apprehended. He had gone there willingly under the pretense of clearing up a “mistake”. Let that sink in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Karim has been in a detention center in NJ but is now slated to be moved across the country, making it harder for his lawyer and his family to fight his case and bring him home: where he belongs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Remember, this man is not a criminal and has NO criminal record. He has lived in the United States for more than 20 years and in those 20 years, he has always worked, paid taxes, and helped his community in every way he can. He deserves to be with his family. They deserve to have him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need to act NOW. Call, email, and write your local representatives requesting they bring Karim home to his family. I will provide a template letter below that you can edit to suit your relationship with Karim.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can, please consider a donation to Karim's legal fees. The money from this GoFundMe will be directly applied to the fight to bring Karim home- where he belongs. If you are unable to donate and know Karim or would like to help him and his family, please consider sharing this GoFundMe.
</div>
