My name is Vianey Rivera, Maximo’s daughter. My father was detained yesterday, July 21, 2025, at his immigration appointment and taken into ICE custody. He is very sick; he knows this deportation is a death sentence as he has no help over there. He suffers from heart failure, kidney disease (final stage), diabetes, loss of eyesight, etc. He begged for an opportunity as he was labeled a criminal, but he is completely the opposite of that. These funds will help him to either establish himself in Mexico or to pay for lawyers to fight for his freedom. He is the kindest person you can come across. He is very welcome and loved by his community and respected as he is always lending a hand and bringing comfort. He is a loved father, partner, grandfather, friend, brother, cousin, and uncle!
