Help the family of Dionisio find him and bring him home

(Español abajo) Dionisio was driving his work vehicle when multiple ICE vehicles surrounded his pickup and forced him to pull over. Despite his work permit and doing nothing wrong, ICE took him away at first to a detention center in Virginia where he was able to call his wife and two daughters to explain what had happened. Despite the inexplicably high cost of phone calls Dionisio’s family has tried again and again to reach him, only to find that he had been moved to a detention center in Louisiana. Now they are told that he is no longer at that detention facility, but they were given no more information.

Dionisio’s wife and two daughters are heartbroken and yet they continue to fight tirelessly to find him and bring him home. They are seeking legal assistance (which is very costly!) all while trying to make ends meet despite the enormous challenge that is presented by the loss of Dionisio’s income.

Please help Dionisio and his family through these challenging times and ensure they can be reunited once again. Please donate what you can and share this post widely among your network of folks who want to stand in solidarity with our immigrant brothers and sisters. If not us, who?

Ayuda a la familia de Dionisio Hernández a encontrarlo y traerlo a casa.

Dionisio conducía su camioneta de trabajo cuando varios vehículos de ICE rodearon y lo obligaron a detenerse. A pesar de tener permiso de trabajo y no haber cometido ningún delito, ICE se lo llevó inicialmente a un centro de detención en Virginia, desde donde pudo llamar a su esposa y sus dos hijas para explicarles lo sucedido. A pesar del inexplicablemente alto costo de las llamadas, la familia de Dionisio intentó repetidamente comunicarse con él, sólo para descubrir que lo habían trasladado a un centro de detención en Luisiana. Ahora les dicen que ya no se encuentra en ese centro de detención, pero no les dieron más información.

La esposa y las dos hijas de Dionisio están desconsoladas, pero siguen luchando incansablemente para encontrarlo y traerlo a casa. Buscan asistencia legal (¡que es muy costosa!) mientras intentan llegar al fin de mes a pesar del enorme desafío que representa la pérdida de los ingresos de Dionisio.

Por favor, ayuden a Dionisio y a su familia a superar estos momentos difíciles y a garantizar que puedan reunirse nuevamente. Por favor, donen lo que puedan y compartan esta publicación ampliamente entre su red de contactos que desean se solidarios con nuestros hermanos y hermanas inmigrantes. Si no lo hacemos nosotros, ¿quién?

It is often needed for legal services to free their loved ones, but it is also critical to ensure they can afford rent, food, medicine, transportation and other basic needs with the loss of income and the grief they are going through.***
