Gabriel Lobo was put into an unmarked van and turned into ICE on September 4th, 2025, while working outside. Knowing that he was working here without a license, he had informed his boss of his fears to continue to travel to DC. However, his boss insisted that he come to the job site if he wanted to remain employed. My father is a Salvadoran immigrant who originally came to this country as a war refugee in the 1980s. He has been working since he was a teenager to provide for himself, his parents, and his children. He is a law-abiding man, an active member at his church, and a source of pride and joy in his community.

As things stand in El Salvador, he will be imprisoned under the state of exception without a trial or any pending charges in either country. Please, donate what you can to assist my family with legal costs both in the States and abroad.
