El lunes 29 de diciembre, Eliseo Ramirez, de 54 años, fue detenido por agentes de ICE alrededor de las 5:30 a. m. en la calle E Bunny en Santa María. En ese momento, Eliseo se encontraba repartiendo bebidas calientes a los trabajadores agrícolas locales mientras esperaban su transporte.

Eliseo es una persona muy respetada en la comunidad desde el año 2002, cuando comenzó como recolector de fresas para empresas agrícolas locales hasta que logró establecer su propio negocio. A pesar de no contar con una visa o permiso de trabajo, ha logrado sacar adelante a su familia, pagando sus impuestos y sin recibir asistencia del gobierno.

Es Padre de un graduado de Fresno State University y en poco tiempo un abuelo de una niña; sin embargo, ahora se encuentra detenido por ICE en California City. Eliseo Ramirez no tiene antecedentes penales y ha mantenido un historial de conducción limpio desde que obtuvo su licencia en 2018.

Ayúdenos a luchar contra esta detención injusta recaudando $12,500, los cuales se destinarán a las tarifas gubernamentales y de abogados para obtener una visa de trabajo para Eliseo.

On Monday, December 29, Eliseo Ramirez, age 54, was detained by ICE agents at approximately 5:30 a.m. on E. Bunny Street in Santa Maria. At the time of his detention, Eliseo was working in the early morning hours serving hot drinks to local farmworkers as they waited for transportation to begin their workday.

Eliseo has lived in the United States for over 20 years, since 2002, and has spent that entire time working honestly and tirelessly to provide for his family. He began as a strawberry picker for local agricultural companies and, through years of dedication and sacrifice, eventually built a small business of his own. He has paid taxes, contributed to his community, and has never relied on government assistance. Eliseo has no criminal history and has maintained a clean driving record since obtaining his driver’s license in 2018.

He is a devoted father of three children, all of whom are contributing members of society in the United States. Eliseo is also eagerly awaiting the birth of his first grandchild, expected in early 2026. His greatest wish is simply to remain with his family and be present to watch his children and future grandchildren grow.

Eliseo is currently being held in ICE custody, and his family is facing significant and urgent legal expenses. Immigration attorney fees, government filing costs, and detention related expenses are extremely high, and the financial burden has quickly become overwhelming.

We are seeking to raise $12,500, which will be used exclusively for immigration attorney fees, government filing and court costs, detention related expenses, and to pursue legal relief and a work visa for Eliseo.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward his legal defense and efforts to reunite him with his family. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is also deeply appreciated. Thank you for standing with Eliseo and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
