On Wednesday morning, December 31st, 2025, my uncle started his day like any other—early and ready for work. He stopped at his regular Circle K, a routine part of his mornings, when everything changed in an instant. At exactly 7:20 am, he was surrounded by six unauthorized vehicles and taken by ICE. Our family was left shocked and heartbroken, not knowing what would happen next or how we could help him.

We are now facing a difficult and uncertain road ahead. The legal process to bring my uncle home is overwhelming and expensive, and our family is doing everything we can to support him. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward legal fees to fight for his release and ensure he has the best possible chance to come home safely. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference in helping us reunite our family.

We are reaching out to our community and beyond for support during this challenging time. Anything you can give will help us get closer to bringing my uncle home. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for standing with us when we need it most.
