Help save Rami’s life

Donation protected
My husband Rami has been detained by ICE since July 1, 2025, and our family is desperate to bring him home. Rami is Palestinian, born in Jerusalem, and has lived in the United States for nearly two decades. He came here to attend college, following his siblings, and has built a life rooted in hard work, family, and community.
Years ago, Rami was caught up in a legal situation where he was wrongly accused in a non-violent crime. Unable to afford proper legal representation, he was given an order of deportation. Because he is Palestinian and considered stateless, Israel refused to take him back. The US allowed him to stay, and for 18 years, Rami has reported to the federal building every year, always on time, with no issues or infractions—not even a speeding ticket. He has worked, paid taxes, and contributed to our community in every way possible.

Recently, after seeking asylum in Canada with legal counsel, Rami was sent back to US custody and detained for failing to deport under the old order. Now, instead of being with us—his wife and two young sons, Jack (7) and Sami (3)—he is sitting in a jail cell. Our children are devastated, and I am struggling to care for them while managing my own health after a liver transplant. We are working with Attorneys but the legal fees are overwhelming. We need immediate help to cover the costs of Rami’s defense so he can come home and continue being the loving father, husband, and friend he has always been. Rami is the heart of our family, always making people laugh, welcoming everyone, and volunteering in our community. Please help us fight for his safety and keep our family together. Any support, big or small, will make a difference. We promise to pay it forward once Rami is safe.
