Don't deport Jesus!!

Donation protected
My friend Jesus was born in Hidalgo del parral, Chihuahua, but when he was two years old his mother took him across the border to try and give him a better life. He has no memory of the country he was born in, and has no social connection or contacts with the people living there. On February, 2018 his status as a dreamer was taken from him. In the wake of all the immigration controversy, his attempts to maintain his eligibility to stay in the United states was drowned in the flood of all the individuals looking to do the same. In early November Jesus was detained by ICE, and he has spent the last two months in a detention center in Texas. If you know Jesus, you know this isn't somewhere he belongs. For the last two years he has been working as a carpenter, and before that he worked in general construction. He pays taxes and helps build and maintain our country's infrastructure. He is a passionate individual, filled with a love for the wilderness, and its beauty. In his spare time, he explores and climbs the towering cliffs you can find in our great national parks, which offer a scope of beauty nearly unparalleled by anything else our earth has to offer, something he has pursued ferociously. He is the type of person that if you are able to get to know him and spend time with him, you consider yourself fortunate. Luckily, he has a lawyer working pro bono on his case. Last week (1/4), she emailed me saying that after a lot of hard work she has finally secured a bond for him, which is set at $12,000. If I'm able to raise 20% of that plus fees, we can work with a bail bondsman to make a payment on the remainder. His lawyer said if he's not able to post bond then he'll accept an order of deportation at his next court date (1/29) and he won't be able to legally come back to America for 10 years. Posting bond will give him a much better chance of fighting this. I know it's a long shot, but I know Jesus would do everything he could for me if I was in this situation. So I am asking anyone who is reading this, please help. Please help him come back home, please help me show ICE that there is a community that loves him and wants him to remain here. Jesus, his family, and myself are forever in debt to anyone that helps in any way.
