I'm raising funds for my best friend, Ivan, who was detained by ICE on Saturday morning. Since then, Ivan has been held at a government facility where the living conditions are not great, and the people close to him have been doing everything they can to support him.

Right now, those closest to Ivan are spending their own resources to make his quality of life at least a little better while also working tirelessly every day to find legal help and fight for his rights and safe return home. This has become an urgent situation, and time matters.

The funds raised will go toward legal counsel for Ivan. There is a 1-2 week deadline to secure the legal help needed to pursue temporary release and cover the legal fees involved.

If you are able to donate or share this fundraiser, it would mean so much. Your support can help Ivan get the legal representation he needs during this critical time and stand with him and the people working hard to bring him home safely.
